Pasta and Spinach
Pasta is a quick and easy fix for your little one’s lunch or dinner. It can be flavoursome, rich and full of yummy goodness and with the different shapes, fun! For this recipe, I have used spinach. As your little one grows, they are attracted to colours – the green of the spinach makes it an appealing and enjoyable meal.
