Ingredients:
Packed with lean ground meat, fresh vegetables, and whole grains, It’s a delicious and hearty dish that even the pickiest eater would enjoy. What I also love about this pie is its versatility. You can switch it up and make it your own by using whatever ingredients you have on hand! You can choose whatever meat you’d like or substitute with beans or lentils for a vegetarian meal. Throw in whatever vegetables that you see in the fridge – you don’t have to be super exact with the measurements. This is a very forgiving recipe!
Instructions
Cook pasta, just shy of al dente. Drain and set aside to cool. Then toss with the ricotta egg mixture. Transfer to a greased round or square pan. Press down firmly to form a crust. Make the meat vegetable sauce. Pour over the spaghetti. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake!
Baby Led Weaning Spaghetti
Oh spaghetti…I’m sure you’ve seen pictures of naked babies covered in spaghetti from head to toe. Adorable unless that baby is yours. It’s so great to see our babies exploring food and mess is most definitely an unavoidable part of baby led weaning. However, I don’t know about you, but the clean up time is my least favorite part! Enter this baked spaghetti pie. Once baked, simply cup up the packed noodles into bite-sized pieces. It will still be messy because of the sauce, but it will be much more tamed. You’re welcome 😉 Just like with toast, yogurt, and oatmeal, pasta is such a great vehicle for so many nourishing foods. Make a big batch and toss with various dips, sauces, or simply Greek yogurt, thinned out nut butter, etc. Here are some sauces you can try!
