Steps:
- Set the oven to 180 (fan assisted). Place the tomatoes, red pepper, courgette and red onion in a deep baking tray. Sprinkle over the herbs and add the tablespoon of olive oil and mix well. Cook for around 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile heat the remaining olive oil in a pan and gently fry the carrots on a medium heat for 5-6 minutes then set aside.
- Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth-ish
- Stir into cooked pasta (fusilli works best as the sauce clings so well to it).
- Any leftover can be frozen (try freezing in ice cube trays for perfect baby-sized portions).

BABY FOOD PASTA
My twins are starting to eat soft solid foods and noodles are easy for them to eat. I decided to try making some pasta with some leftover pureed baby food for a more nutritious and egg-free pasta. One 4 oz baby food jar is 1/2 cup. Cooking time is resting time.

Steps:
- By Hand: Put flour into a mixing bowl making a well in the center for the baby food. Incorporate flour into baby food by mixing in the well slowly pulling in the flour. If using a Kitchen aide mixer use the dough mixer and it will do this for you. You should get a ball after a while. It should feel like play dough. If it does not start to ball you may need to add more water. If it is too sticky add more flour.
- By Food Processor: Put flour into a food processor bowl add the wet ingredients and 1 tsp oil to the flour in the food processor. Turn on the processor and mix until ingredients are evenly distributed. Mixture will be sandy and crumbly. With the processor running, add another 1 Tbsp cold water through a feed tube. At this stage the mixture should start coming together into a ball. If you are not getting a ball after 30 seconds of mixing, open the processor and squeeze a chunk of dough with your fingers. If it comes together and feels like play dough, it's done. If not, restart the processor and drizzle in a little more water, 1 tsp at a time.
- Turn the dough out onto a work surface and gather into a ball. Knead for 8 minutes. The dough should be soft, pliable, and slightly tacky, but not sticky. It should not stick to the work surface or your hands. If it sticks, add a little flour and continue kneading. Don't short cut this step. Kneading is what develops gluten and makes your dough elastic and workable later.
- Let dough rest 1 or more hours.
- If you have a pasta machine divide the dough into thirds and follow the directions for your pasta machine.
- If you are making it by hand roll out very thin and cut as desired.
- Dry. Remember when you go to cook it, fresh pasta only takes a couple minutes to cook. The longer it is dried the longer it needs to cook.

Tips:
- Choose the right pasta: Smaller pasta shapes, like penne and macaroni, are easier for babies to eat. You can also use alphabet pasta or other fun shapes to make mealtime more enjoyable.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is just tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and difficult for babies to eat.
- Use fresh or frozen vegetables: Fresh vegetables are always best, but frozen vegetables are a great option when fresh produce is not available. Just be sure to cook them thoroughly.
- Add a healthy protein source: Lean meats, poultry, fish, and beans are all good options for protein. You can also use tofu or tempeh if you prefer.
- Make it saucy: Babies love sauces! You can use a simple tomato sauce, a creamy Alfredo sauce, or a pesto sauce. You can also add some grated cheese to the sauce for extra flavor.
- Serve it warm or cold: Pasta is delicious served warm or cold. If you are serving it cold, be sure to chill it thoroughly before serving.
