La Pappa Per Il Bebe

A simple sauce for the baby

I made this very simple pasta sauce for Monet last night. It took her some convincing to eat (she is very fussy!) but it was honestly delicious. I served it over dinosuar shaped pasta and topped with a little fresh grated cheese... Unfortunately, I didn't get to take a photo!

*Taken from the cookbook 'Allegro Al Dente - Pasta & Opera'*

Ingredients
3 ripe tomatoes
2 tbs water
1 tsp butter
1 basil leaf

Method
Dunk the tomatoes into boiling water for a few seconds, then peel off skin. Cut in half, squeeze out the seeds and chop remaining flesh to a pulp.

Combine the pulp in a small pot with water, butter and basil leaf and cook very, very gently for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add cooked pasta, heat through and serve.

Serves 1 toddler.
