Main course: Spaghetti bolognaise

Most babies love pasta and this sauce is a classic favourite and can also be eaten by all the family, with the addition of seasoning after putting aside baby's portion.

Ingredients:
1 tbs. olive oil
1 small onion
1 small clove garlic (optional)
100g minced Scotch beef
400g tin chopped tomatoes
pinch mixed herbs
100g spaghetti

Dice the onions finely and mince the garlic.

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan, add the onions and garlic and cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes, or until soft - do not brown.

Add the mince, mix well and cook for a further 5 minutes.

Add the chopped tomatoes and herbs, bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 25 minutes.

Heat a pan of water, when boiling add the spaghetti and cook for 10 minutes.

Drain the spaghetti and add to the bolognaise sauce, mix well and serve topped with grated parmesan or cheddar cheese.

Serve your baby the desired amount, store a little in the fridge for another meal and freeze the remainder in small Tupperware pots.
