Easy Green Pasta Sauce for Toddlers
A creamy, veggie-packed green pasta sauce made with spinach, peas, ricotta, and parmesan—simple, nourishing, and toddler-friendly.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 onion chopped
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 8 oz fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup bone broth (or chicken or veggie broth)
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until translucent (about 5 minutes)
- Add the baby spinach and frozen peas to the skillet. Cook just until the spinach is wilted and the peas are bright green and heated through.
- Transfer the sautéed mixture to a blender or food processor. Add the bone broth, ricotta, parmesan, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Blend on high until completely smooth and vibrant green. The bone broth will help everything emulsify into a smooth sauce. You can add more broth if needed to thin.
- Toss with your favorite cooked pasta and serve immediately!
