Every day Harry is more and more interested in using his hands to eat his dinner, which isn't ideal when I am feeding a mashy dish. This one was spur of the moment and turned out really well, Harry literally licked the highchair tray clean. I used an organic brown pasta which was so beautiful, but any old pasta will do.

I think this would also work really well with some added onion, chicken or tuna.

Ingredients 
(makes 2 serves)

1 tsp margarine/butter
1/4 cup grated zucchini
1/4 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup grated cheese
1 cup cooked pasta spirals

Method 

1/ Melt the butter in a small saucepan, add the grated zucchini and sauté for a few minutes. Add the peas and cook until warm.

2/ Add the pasta and stir through the cheese. Once melted remove from heat

3/ Allow to cool just enough so the cheese binds it all together. You can then mash and spoon feed for younger babies or let the older ones feed themselves
