Where has all the baby pasta gone?

[cat71]

When dd1 (4) was a baby, I used to buy tiny baby (dried) pasta stars for her and she loved them with a variety of different sauces. Am now trying to find them for dd2 (9m), but can't find them anywhere - I've tried Tesco, Morrisons, Somerfield, plus places that do baby food like Boots. Do they still exist and if so, where can I get them? If anybody knows, please let me know!

i cant find them either (tho i think waitrose do similiar ones made for soup.... but the same)

The organic beatrix potter range makes orgainic little pastas (sold in Waitrose and tesco) but its SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO expensive i refuse to buy it on principle!

Italian deli's do them. So my SIL tells me.

the only ones i know of are the Beatrix Potter ones, our boots sell them, i bought some once, but it fell to bits when i cooked it, and DD didnt like it anyway!

waitrose does the peter rabbit pasta which is tiny but nice! pricey though.It's in the baby food section.

yes organix used to do them but haven't seen them for a long time, only the beatrix potter ones.

Organix got rid of them as they are aiming for their range to be completely gluten-free apparently.

Any good deli do the small pasta stars etc a LOT cheaper than any of the baby ones

Sainsburys do mini pasta shapes - Conchiglietti and Fusillini. It's on the pasta aisle in our big superstore. That's the only place I've seen it though.

Del Cecco is a pasta range that do baby stars, hearts, alphabets and circles -

I have bought mini pasta shapes in tesco, a few weeks ago - farfillini. They were with other pasta. Ds wont eat them!

we have the tiny bow shaped ones from tesco - think they are intended for soup.

spaghetti or noodles that you use for soup works well

has NON ONE arffed yet?
if not

arf

Why just soup schneebly? They are good size for little ones.

arf at cod arfing.

My local Italian Deli does ridiculously small pasta shapes including the stars and the tiniest concheliege ever. Best place by a long chalk if you have one close. In the meantime, you could always bash some spaghetti into tiny bits.

I'm assuming this thread isn't an April Fools btw!

I'm sure tesco do a range of baby rice and pata and it's called Peter Rabbit!! I am away to google this

yeh - it's Peter Rabbit Tricolore Pasta - in the baby food section under the organic cereals & dry food section - £1.49 for a 175g bag.

HOW much???????????

I now understand why these threads kick off

Baby Pasta-Whatever next! another overpriced consumer item we must buy-i dont think so.

Like baby bread sticks and apple puree!!!!!!!

Thanks all! Will try local deli first to see if there's something that's less of a rip-off than the Peter Rabbit ones.

what I don't understand if why you buy in anyway. why not just cook normal pasta and cut it up really small.
It worked with my Ds's

It costs about 50p for 500g from my Deli Cat71. I would send you some, but the postage would be about £2.50, putting it into Peter Rabbit realms

.

Boots should do organic baby pasta shells, only bought them a few weeks ago and just checked boots online and they're still showing...

Bored, are we?

I like letters and numbers pasta in soup - but the only place I can buy it is in Prague!
