Pasta with pea pesto recipe

Pasta with pea pesto recipe

All you need to do is cook some fresh or dried pasta, then stir through this lovely creamy sauce to make a fabulous meal. You could serve a bowl of plain cooked pasta to your toddler and give them a spoonful of the sauce for them to mix themselves. For younger babies, use very small pasta shapes and make sure the sauce is well mixed.

Makes 4 child portions or 2 adult portions.
