This veggie loaded and delicious zucchini pasta sauce will be your baby’s new favorite meal!
This comes together super quickly is a great way to serve zucchini to your little ones. It’s light and fresh, with a boost of protein from the ricotta, parmesan cheese, and hemp hearts. Plenty of fat for brain development, too! Easy to mix it up and add in your family’s favorite flavors too. Most important, it’s full of flavor!
BABY LED WEANING
This would be a great recipe to serve babies starting at 6 months, once they’ve been safely introduced to the allergens in the recipe.
For information on how to safely serve foods to babies depending on their age (plus so much more), I recommend Solid Starts. The app is free and has tons of information!
ALLERGENS
This recipe contains dairy and whatever allergens might be in your pasta of choice.
A dairy free yogurt and parmesan will work here as a substitute.
STORAGE
I would store this in the fridge for 4 days max, then transfer to the freezer in a souper cube to be in ready to go portions for baby when needed.
To reheat I microwave until heated through.
SUBSTITUTES & ADD INS
Feel free to exclude the onion, and add in any seasonings you like! Any cheese should work here.
