TODDLER VEGGIE PACKED PASTA



Toddler Veggie Packed Pasta image

If you have a picky toddler, you know how difficult lunch options can be! I decided to whip this up with what I had on hand. You could omit or add items as you please....I like the veggie/calcium combo! Alphabet pasta is also a good alternative for babies Store the leftovers for two days and serve as a side or meal!

  • Stealth spaghetti. This recipe sneaks in an entire sweet potato, carrot AND zucchini into the spaghetti sauce. The grated veggies are sautéed first until tender then smothered in beautiful tomato passata.
  • kale pesto spaghetti. Two secrets to getting your kids to love pesto? First, get them involved in making it – they love love love picking the herbs and pressing the processor buttons.
  • veggie loaded spaghetti bolognese. Along with the usual bolognese suspects – this sauce also sneaks in an onion, sweet potato, zucchini and carrot. Again the veggies are grated so they are wonderfully disguised amongst the sauce.
  • roast cauliflower orecchiette with crispy herb and parmesan crumbs. The hero of this dish is the herb and parmesan spiked golden sour dough crumbs strewn through-out.
  • pasta with broccoli pesto. Gorgeously green casarecce pasta smothered in a zesty homemade broccoli pesto, this pasta is perfection for picky eaters. Whizzing broccoli into a pesto is your chance to get your fussy eater consuming more veggies or even just trying them in a different way.
  • easy peasy pasta salad. So clearly there is no hiding the tomatoes and salad leaves here BUT this recipe is still a great chance to expose your fussy eater to some veggies.
  • kale, broccoli & cherry tomato penne. Adding crunch to the veggies is our secret weapon in this recipe. Roasting the kale, broccoli, fennel and cherry tomatoes adds crunch [and sweetness] kids love.
  • ravioli with pumpkin pesto & pistachio. Harry calls this recipe ‘pasta pillows’ and I can see why. The plump pillows of ravioli are not only adorable but are so much fun for little hands.
  • pesto prawn spaghetti with oven roasted truss tomatoes. If your fussy eater doesn’t love cherry tomatoes – try roasting them. The time in the oven heightens their natural sweetness – so much so even Harry likes them.
  • wholemeal spaghetti w’ roast capsicum pesto & crispy chorizo. This recipe offers you a chance to introduce roasted capsicum to your picky eater in a form they’re more familiar with, pesto and spaghetti.
