Typically, the recipes are a composite of ideas from cook books, suggestions from friends and Family. Sometimes I wake up with ideas on seeing S; sometimes they come to me when I’m deep in conversation with my family, sometimes they pop into my head when I open my refrigerator.
Tomato Sauce pasta is one such recipe to introduce the spices to babies at the early days of Baby Weaning to solids. You can go in for healthier versions of pasta like Red Lentil Pasta or Chickpea Pasta. It should be a single ingredient pasta.
Preferably use versions like Fusilli, Penne or Spaghetti instead of smaller cuts like Macaroni.
Make a "X" shaped cut on the tomato's skin. Blanch it in water for about 5 min or until you see the skin start to peel back.
Sauté the garlic pods after peeling the skin in butter.
Mix the two together in a Mixie and grind coarsely without adding any water.
Note: if giving for older babies, you can very finely chop the garlic and add to the pureed tomatoes.
