Cheesy Red Sauce Pasta for Kids

When your little one starts growing and especially going to playschool or school every parent realizes that they demand variety in food. The change is good and welcoming and can get overwhelming when you have little time in hand in the morning and you need to make something which your little will finish off in his tiffin. I found this Whole Wheat Pasta in a grocery store and thought to give it a try.

This Cheesy Red Sauce Pasta is too colorful to lure your little ones. Tomato-based Pasta with herbs in it tastes delicious and can be made very quickly. A great Lunch Box Recipe for picky eaters. The vegetables in this along with cheese make it a nutritious breakfast option keeping your worry of feeding them veggies at bay. You can also check our Foxtail Millet Fried Rice, Instant Spinach Oats Pancake, Ragi Apple Pancake, and our Complete Breakfast Range for more options.

This can be given to 18 months and above. To make this recipe I’ve used Wonderchef Nutri-blender, Prestige Pressure Cooker, and Prestige 3 Set Cookware with Glass Lid.
