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! Ingredients:
2 cups mini farfalle pasta or 2 cups other small shell pasta |
1 jar of prepared pasta sauce |
1/4 cup low-fat cream cheese |
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 cups steam in the bag frozen mixed vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli and carrots) |
Directions:
1. Boil pasta according to directions, I always boil it a minute longer for younger toddlers. Add pasta to serving dish and mix with olive oil and cheddar cheese.
2. Steam veggies according to directions.
3. Heat sauce according to directions.
4. In food processor or blender add veggies, sauce, and cream cheese. Blend well. Sauce will be thick.
5. Stir sauce in with pasta and serve.
