This simple, nutrient-packed pasta is perfect for little ones exploring new textures and flavours! Sweet pear balances the earthy Brussels sprouts and fresh peas, creating a naturally sweet, veggie-filled dish that’s both gentle on tiny taste buds and satisfying for the whole family.
Packed with fibre, vitamins C and K, and plant-based protein, this recipe helps support your baby’s digestion and immune system as they learn to self-feed. It’s quick to make, freezer-friendly, and ideal for baby-led weaning — soft, flavourful, and easy to grasp with little hands. Blend ingredients more thoroughly for early eaters or leave lumpier for more confident munchers — either way, it’s a wholesome, colourful meal your baby will love.
Ingredients
- 350g dried fusilli pasta
- 3 pears, peeled, cored and quartered
- 300g frozen peas
- A small handful of Brussels sprouts (about 7)
- Parmesan cheese to serve (optional)
Method
- In a saucepan of boiling water, cook the dried pasta according to the packet instructions.
- While the pasta cooks, steam the pears, peas and Brussels sprouts.
- After 4 minutes, transfer the pears and peas to a food processor and allow the Brussels sprouts to continue steaming.
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain and reserve, then remove the Brussels sprouts from the steamer and transfer to the food processor.
- Blend the pear, peas and Brussels sprouts in the food processor to create a lumpy sauce (blend smoother for early eaters if preferred).
- Stir the sauce through the pasta.
- Serve once cooled with a sprinkling of cheese, if desired.
Tips
- For baby-led weaning, ensure pasta and sauce are soft enough to squish between fingers.
- Cool to a safe temperature before serving.
- Skip the cheese if avoiding dairy or salt for younger babies.
