Everyday thinking about a different yet interesting healthy food for babies/kids is not easy sometime. My little gal is not a big pasta fan as such but she loves to try, so I keep trying few different shape pasta for my little one- star, alphabets, penne, Fusilli, spiral etc and with variety of base so she won't get bored easily.
This time the sauce I have prepared is cream style roasted mushroom as pasta base.
It is so creamy with the perfect mushroom flavour that you can even eat it as a side dish if not adding to pasta or slightly thin it milk or water to make mushroom soup.
