pasta ideas please

[kiskidee]

preferably without cheese or milk as dd (7.5 mos) possibly milk allergic.

homemade pesto (without the pine nuts)lots of fresh basil-little bit olive oil-some parmesan cheese (could substitute a few chick peas for the texture of the pine nuts) whizz toghether in blender- hey presto - pesto (groan)

whoops sorry no cheese just realised please excuse me its late

pasta and veg sauce -tomatoes and onions cooked down with basil mixed with mashed sweet potato (try these foods first as they can be potentially allergenic but most babies ok with them i think)

parsnip and carrot puree mildly spiced (pinch cumin cinnamon/nutmeg) with some lentils (red) for texture

pasta tuna peas sweetcorn

chicken ham basil

organic mince cooked bolognaise style with or without mushrooms on pasta shells is nice

minced lamb carrots and peas for a shepherds pie pasta !

try cooking the pasta in a low salt kallo organic veg stock cube for extra flavor

happpy cooking!

will try out some of these luna. I found some lovely wee pasta shapes in Morrisons at the weekend. Dd is finally, after nearly 2 months, seeming to get into this food malarky. I think I am a bit on the optimistic side just yet though.

thanks.
