This is a great way to get children to eat vegetables. There are four vegetables blended into the tomato sauce and what they can’t see, they can’t pick out.. You could make this using any of the pasta shapes... |

We all know that we should include 5 portions of fruit and vegetables in our diet. As well as providing vitamins and minerals they help to protect us against cancers and heart disease. In general the more colourful the food, the more nutritious it is as the actual pigment contains antioxidants. So a red grapefruit is better for you than an ordinary grapefruit and an orange fleshed sweet potato is better for you than an ordinary potato. It is important to ensure that you include a good variety of colours to make sure you are getting a good balance in your diet. |

Just made this today for my 10 and half month old. Instead of celery i added pork so he can get his protein. I let him try some when i'd made it and i couldn't get more on the spoon quick enough! He loves it! Great recipe. :)
