  • Kid-friendly: Creamy, flavorful and delicious for even the pickiest eaters.
  • Nutritious: Packed with fresh grape tomatoes, garlic, and basil.
  • Easy & quick: Comes together in under 30 minutes.
  • Family-friendly: Works for babies, toddlers, older kids, and adults alike.
  • Versatile: Pairs beautifully with proteins like grilled chicken, fish, shrimp or even roasted veggies.
  • Babies 7-12 months: Use small pasta shapes like elbows or cut-up spaghetti, making sure they are soft and easy to mash.
  • Toddlers: Penne, fusilli, or rotini work great since they are easy to grab and hold.
  • Older kids & adults: Any pasta shape works well—spaghetti, linguine, rigatoni, or even stuffed pastas like tortellini.
  • Roasted veggies like zucchini, eggplant, or bell peppers.
  • A simple side salad with fresh greens.
  • Garlic bread or a slice of warm sourdough for dipping.
  • Ricotta cheese- If you don’t have ricotta, you can swap in cottage cheese. For a dairy-free option, try cashew cream.
  • Olive oil – Avocado oil or butter works just as well for sautéing the garlic and tomatoes.
  • Tomato paste- If you don’t have tomato paste, you can reduce down some canned crushed tomatoes or use sun-dried tomato paste for a deeper flavor.
  • Basil – Fresh basil gives the best flavor, but if you don’t have it you can do a sprinkle of Italian seasoning.
  • Pasta water- Vegetable or chicken broth makes a great substitute.
