VEGETABLE AND WHEAT PASTA FOR BABY

Making meal time tasty but still nutritious and different every day for my boys can be quite a challenge! They like to try new tastes and get bored of the same old food easily. So, I try and experiment with a lot of different things. Some work, some don't! This wheat and veggie pasta  was a huge  hit!

 


Ingredients

2 medium size sweet potatoes
4 Medium size carrots
1 cup dry wheat pasta {Any kind will do. I used Penne}

Method

-Peel the sweet potatoes and carrots and cut into thick round slices.
-Put in a pot and add the pasta to it. Cover with enough water to submerge the vegetables and pasta.
-Cook in pressure cooker for one whistle and simmer for 15  minutes.
-If using a stove top, add enough hot water to cover the vegetables and pasta and keep adding more as required till pasta and vegetables are fully cooked and soft enough to mash with a fork.
-Mash the pasta and vegetables well or blend into puree and feed baby!

You can add Boiled chicken to this dish too.
