A delicious baby pasta sauce with tomato, veggies and extra iron! Your baby will love this first taste of tomato sauce. This recipe also works as a healthy "hidden veggie" pasta sauce for picky toddlers.
In a small saucepan,sauté the carrots and peppers in olive oil until they have softened.
Add the garlic and herbs, and cook for another minute or two, until fragrant.
Add the tomatoes and beans. Heat until bubbling and then turn off the heat, add the basil leaves, and allow the sauce to cool down for about 5 minutes.
Puree the sauce with a hand blender or in a jug blender or food processor.
Toss into cooked pasta and serve.
Notes
This makes enough for 5 portions. Freeze in 90ml /3oz baby food containers.I used butter beans to make this sauce, but any other white bean (cannellini, haricot / great northern) should work just as well!
