Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup small pasta spirals
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Preparation

  1. Cook pasta in plenty of boiling water without added salt for the baby portion, following the packet but continuing until thoroughly tender.

  2. Drain and toss with olive oil to prevent sticking. Do not allow the pieces to dry into hard clumps.

  3. Cool and check softness of the thickest pasta piece before serving in manageable portions.

Serving by Age

Select manageable pasta shapes and check one cooled piece: it should squash easily without a hard core. For early self-feeders, larger soft shapes may be easier to grasp; adapt smaller pieces to the baby's skills.

7 months+

This recipe is listed for 7m+, so the 6m+ field does not recommend serving it earlier. Within the listed age range and when your baby can manage the texture, serve well-cooked pasta spirals that are soft and easy to grasp.

9 months+
