Thanks to Cabot for sponsoring this post! I don’t know about you, but when I think pasta and cheese, I think comfort. And when loads of veggies come into the picture, then I say hello, lightened-up comfort! This dish is perfect for babies because all the ingredients get nice and soft while cooking. It’s such an effortless way to expose them to a wide variety of flavors from early on. And if you have a toddler or older child who is on the fence about veggies, this is the PERFECT dish to encourage him/her to give them a try. How? By getting your child involved in the cooking process! With a wide selection of veggies available this time of year, there are so many ways you can turn this into a fun activity. You can talk about the different colors/shapes, have your child help with measuring, pouring, stirring, sampling (the best part!)…oh what fun!! Well, minus the mess, but it’s so worth it! Another way you can encourage them to give vegetables a try is to prepare them using different cooking methods and flavoring them in new and exciting ways!
