Spinach Ricotta Pasta Bites for Babies (9 months+)

Soft pasta with ricotta and spinach makes a creamy bake, but a binder-free mixture may not hold neat squares. Serve it by spoon if the baked pieces fall apart instead of baking longer until firm.

Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Cook the pasta until very soft and drain. Cook the spinach until wilted, then chop finely.

  2. Mix warm pasta, pasteurised ricotta and spinach until coated; transfer to a shallow oven-safe dish.

  3. Bake just until heated through. Cool and try cutting into soft pieces; if the mixture does not hold together, offer on a spoon rather than overbaking.

Serving by Age

Use small, very soft pasta and thoroughly cooked finely chopped spinach. Check for stringy, chewy or hard baked portions; offer moist pieces or a spoonful of the mixture according to your baby's skills.

9 months+

Cut into small cubes.
