I'm having a stupid day today. Is it just little pasta? Or is it made of something special? I've never seen it.

If you really want tiny pasta you can get stuff that is for soup like farfallini much cheaper than 'baby pasta'

For me, baby pasta = soup pasta.

So.... there are enough people out there who don't know that you can buy normal pasta in small sizes for soup etc, for it to be worth their while setting up a website to sell people perfectly ordinary pasta at more than four times the price of normal....

"Welcome to Baby Pasta, as the name suggests we sell pasta for babies from 4 months of age"

wankers

KathyMCMLXXII · 29/06/2006 18:58

Surely even if you are weaning at 4 months, you don't give them wheat till 6 months?

Corn pasta is made from corn. Rice pasta is made from rice. Buckwheat pasta is made from buckwheat.

So baby pasta is ...
