Popeye Pasta

This is a really tasty baby pasta recipe to make if you want to  introduce your baby to spinach. Mixing tiny baby pasta shapes into your baby’s food is a good way to add texture. I make a range of organic pastas including tiny gluten free stars and mini pasta shells.

Absolutely love this recipe. My little boy can't get enough of it. He had it first time at around 10 months and still asks for it now! I have just made up another batch of it and we have just had some for lunch and I am going to freeze the rest!

 

This is absolutely delicious (and baby loves it too)!
