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.
