We all know kids love simple foods. But they often don’t love green bits (like my son).
This dish is a great introduction to “bits” in their food. It’s full of flavour, not too spicy and pretty quick to whip up.
Gluten, egg, dairy and nut free
Serves 5 or 6
INGREDIENTS:
- 400g grape or cherry tomatoes

- ½ red onion, finely diced
- ½ Cup water from the pasta
- ¹⁄8 tsp. salt

- 350g shell pasta, I use Barilla gluten free
METHOD:

- Once the oven is heated, place the tomatoes in the oven and cook for 10-15 mins or until the tomatoes have wilted and gone soft.
- In the meantime, cook the pasta in a large saucepan, in loads of water and according to packet directions.

- Add in the onion and cook for 1 minute until it begins to soften. then add the garlic and chilli.
- Pour in the cooked tomatoes, sprinkle with the salt and bring to the boil. Then add in the pasta water.
- Allow to gently boil for 2-3 minutes.
