I love pasta. I’m like an Italian, I can live on pasta, cheese and some olives. Bobcat too, minus the olives. When you have a picky toddler who’s addicted to pasta you try to make it versatile, healthy and at the same time edible for the entire family. (We got to the point of pasta-love where I don’t even give a damn about the other qualities of a restaurant when eating out with my family, but one item on the children’s menu: pasta with tomato sauce.)

It also takes no time and very little effort to prepare it. The good thing about cauliflower is, that it’s packed with Vitamin C, K and B6, fiber, protein and Omega-3 fats. So it’s basically just like fish 🙂 Therefore, if you can see any chance to smuggle it into any dish, give it a try. Both toddler and weaning diet compatible: depending on how soft the pasta is.
