SPINACH PICHI PASTA

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MEAL … SPINACH PICHI PASTA
This is a great dinner idea for your little one! What is very exciting is how much fun it is for kids to make it and how healthy it is!

INGREDIENTS:

– 100g baby spinach.

– 150g flower.

– 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS:

Put baby spinach and flower in to the food processor and mix until combined well.

You want it to be this same consistency as play dough 😁.

Then to the fun part, you need to shape your pasta. Your little one will have so much fun doing it with you. Divided the sought in to 1cm balls and the roll it until you achieve thin rolls of pasta.

Cook the pici straight away, or leave them to dry out for a few hours, or even overnight. If you are Cooking them straight away add to the boiling water and cook for around 8 minutes; if you cooking them from dry then allow extra 5 minutes.

Once ready put on the plate, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve (this will give you quite a few portions which you can freeze).

I have made this pasta from Jamie Oliver recipe from his new book Super Food Family Classic (http://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/pasta-recipes/spinach-pici-pasta/). I have made the recipe for us grown ups and adapted it for Chloe. If your child is older then you probably can follow the recipe and just miss on some chilly flakes.

ANOTHER DAY,ANOTHER MEAL … CAULIFLOWER AND SWEET POTATO CURRY

DINNER RECIPE

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MEAL …

CAULIFLOWER AND SWEET POTATO CURRY:

We love curry in my house and luckily for us so does Chloe. Now that she is one year old I can make a kids version of the curry that we eat, which makes the cooking so much easier.

Hope that your baby will like it as well.

Ingredients:

– 100g chicken

– 150g cauliflower

– 1/2 onion

– 200ml tomatoes

– 200ml of coconut milk

– 2tsp of mild curry powder

– 2 sweet potatoes

– 1 tbsp of basil

– 1 tsp ginger (cut in to very small cubes)

Cooking method :

Peal and slice sweet potato; steam until soft*

Fry your onion on a little bit of olive oil for 3 minutes. Add chicken and curry powder, fry for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and coconut milk and simmer for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile wash your cauliflower and blend it in the food processor (if your baby/child is older you can divide it in to small florets instead).

Add cauliflower in to the curry and simmer for another 10minutes. At the end add basil.

Cut sweet potatoes in small cubes and combine with the curry.

Your dinner is ready to serve!

* I like to cook potatoes separately by steaming to preserve more nutritions and because it’s so much easier to cut them in small cubes once they are cooked.
