Here is her recipe:
Pastina
Serves 1 baby
2-3 tablespoons small soup pasta
4 grape or cherry tomatoes, quartered
Olive oil
Grated Parmesan cheese
1. In a small saucepan, bring an inch of water to the boil with a small pinch of salt. When the water is boiling, add the soup pasta and the quartered tomatoes and cook until the pasta is done.
2. Spoon the pasta, tomatoes and a little bit of the cooking liquid into a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little olive oil and top with a little grated cheese. Serve.
Variation with 1 very fresh egg:
When the pasta is finished cooking, turn off the heat under the pot and crack the egg into the pasta. Stir the egg until it is cooked and transformed into custardy shreds. Pour the contents of the pot into a serving bowl, top with olive oil and cheese and serve.
Nota bene: Make sure to really only use the amount of water that you want to serve, if using the egg. Once the egg is stirred into the pot, you can't reduce the amount of liquid in the pot.
I skipped the tomatoes and cheese but added the egg. Olive opened her mouth repeatedly for more! The best feeling, you do have a primal urge to feed that baby. Just as I thought she would never be spoon fed, Olive went and ate a meal! Simple things. I'm still doing loads of finger food but I always offer something else too. This recipe is a keeper or maybe our dinner puréed to a thick mash, or try my luck withv a pre prepped jar.

As a side note Olive and Ada are such wee opposites, in the tastes department Ada loved pumpkin, Olive loves egg and each hates the other. But we all love broccoli.
Any must share recipes or thoughts on solids out there? We are having no joy at breakfast time.
Ada loved food, see baby dahl, irish mash and best (guilt free) pancakes ever, I no longer think these are embarrassingly easy. If you make food for your baby, you are hard core! Go us, when we do it! Haha.
