Toddler Pasta Delight

This recipe is for Moms and Dads who want to make a nourishing yet quick meal that your toddler will love! I make this fresh for lunch or dinner for my almost 1 year old. This dish is comforting and easy for them to digest as it's made with wheat free pasta. You can substitute any vegetable you want for this dish and instead of pasta, you could use rice. You can also add any left over protein if you desire. I like using the cheese as a protein but do what you want for your toddler. Play around with it depending on what you have in the cupboard and fridge. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup quinoa noodles or rice noodles (shells or twists, whatever you fancy)
1 small container sweet potato baby vegetable puree (any veggie will do, about 3 Tbsp.)
1 small handful frozen peas (about 1/8 cup)
1 small handful frozen corn
1 small handful shredded Colby Jack or Monterey Jack cheese (I don't use mozzarella as it gets too stringy and difficult for little ones to swallow)
1 tsp. Liquid Braggs Aminos ( a natural gluten free food enhancer that's delicious and good for them)

Boil pasta until done, about 10 minutes. Drain and put pasta back into the pan. Add vegetable puree, frozen vegetables and turn on low for 2 minutes while stirring occasionally. This just heats the frozen veggies through but doesn't make them too hot. Turn off heat, add cheese and Braggs until melted. Give a quick stir and serve. I place a portion of this meal on his high chair and feed him the rest myself to ensure he's getting his proper portion.
