How to Make Baby Food Pasta

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. In a medium bowl, gently mix the cooked pasta with 1/2 cup of your baby's favorite pureed food (one 4oz jar).
  3. Add pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more as needed to prevent dryness.
  4. Serve immediately. Let the pasta cool slightly before serving to your baby.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
