Notes
- You can add corn to this recipe if your baby likes it.
- You can also try the spinach pesto version of this recipe which is also amazing.
- Try using mini pasta like macaroni or ditalini if you are making it for a baby or toddler.
- You can make the vegan version or dairy-free by replacing butter with olive oil, choosing vegan pasta and eliminating cream.
