      Pasta shells with salmon and broccoli

      Fish is good for the brain; omega-3 essential fatty acids are found in oily fish and make up 40 percent of the brain. A baby’s brain grows rapidly between birth and three years, and most of this growth takes place in the first year, so it’s important to introduce fish such as salmon early on. Fish is quick and easy to prepare and delicious combined with root vegetables. (Note: For babies younger than a year, using unsalted broth is recommended.)

      2 ounces salmon fillet, skinned

      ²/³ cup vegetable or chicken broth

      ¹/⁴ cup small pasta shells a pat of butter

      ¹/² small onion, finely chopped

      2 teaspoons all-purpose flour

      ¹/² cup milk

      ¹/² cup roughly chopped broccoli

      3 tablespoons crème fraîche or heavy cream

      3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

      1 teaspoon lemon juice

      ¹/² teaspoon chopped fresh dill

      ¹/² teaspoon chopped fresh chives

      To cook the salmon, either poach the fish in a little of the broth over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes, until it flakes easily with a fork, or cook in a microwave with a couple of tablespoons of the broth for about 2 minutes.

      Meanwhile, cook the pasta following the instructions on the package. Drain.

      To make the sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan. Add the onion and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, just until soft. Add the flour and mix together, then blend in the remaining broth and the milk. Bring to a boil. Add the broccoli and simmer, covered, for 5 to 6 minutes until soft.

      Whiz in a food processor until smooth. Return to the pan and stir in the crème fraîche, Parmesan, lemon juice, herbs, and cooked salmon. Simmer for 2 minutes. Serve the drained pasta with the sauce.

      Pasta stars with carrot and tomato

      Stir these tiny pasta stars into your baby’s favorite puree for a gradual introduction to more lumpy food. Interestingly, carrots are more nutritious when cooked with a little butter or oil, as the beta-carotene they contain is absorbed more readily. The same is true of tomatoes; they are rich in lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that is better absorbed by our bodies when tomatoes are cooked with a little oil or butter.

      2 medium carrots, sliced (1 cup)

      1 tablespoon butter

      3 medium tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and quartered

      scant ¹/² cup grated Cheddar cheese

      2 fresh basil leaves, torn into pieces

      ¹/⁴ cup small pasta stars

      Steam the carrots for about 20 minutes, or until tender. Heat the butter in a separate pan, then add the tomatoes and sauté until mushy. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese until melted; add the fresh basil.

      Meanwhile, cook the pasta stars following the instructions on the package. Drain.

      Puree the cooked carrots together with 3 tablespoons of the liquid from the bottom of the steamer using a handheld blender. Blend together with the tomato and cheese mixture and stir in the drained pasta stars.

      SAUCE SUITABLE FOR FREEZING

      Tomato, sweet potato, and cheese sauce with pasta shells

      This delicious tomato sauce is enriched with vegetables. It is very versatile; you can mix it with pasta, as here, or blend it together with cooked fish or chicken.

      1 tablespoon olive oil

      1 medium onion, chopped

      1 garlic clove, chopped

      1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped (1 ²/³ cups)

      2 medium carrots, sliced (1 cup)

      one 14-ounce can diced tomatoes

      ³/⁴ cup vegetable broth or water

      ²/³ cup small pasta shells

      ²/³ cup grated Cheddar cheese

      Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion for about 4 minutes, or until softened. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute more. Stir in the sweet potato and carrots, then stir in the tomatoes and vegetable broth or water. Bring to a boil, stirring, cover the pan, and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

      Meanwhile, cook the pasta following the instructions on the package. Drain.

      Once cooked, let the sauce cool slightly, then blend the sauce to a puree and stir in the cheese until melted. Mix the drained pasta with the sauce.

      Pasta with tomato and mascarpone sauce

      Five different vegetables are blended into this tasty tomato sauce. Mascarpone is good for babies, as they need proportionately more fat in their diets than adults due to their rapid growth rate. If you don’t have any, use heavy cream or cream cheese instead.

      1 tablespoon olive oil

      1 medium red onion, chopped

      ¹/⁴ cup diced carrot

      ¹/⁴ cup diced zucchini

      2 tablespoons diced celery

      1 garlic clove, crushed

      ¹/² cup chopped button mushrooms

      one 14-ounce can crushed or diced tomatoes

      2 tablespoons apple juice

      ¹/³ cup small pasta shells

      2 tablespoons torn fresh basil (optional)

      3 tablespoons mascarpone cheese

      3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

      Heat the oil in a saucepan and sauté the onion, carrot, zucchini, and celery for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the button mushrooms and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in the crushed or diced tomatoes with the apple juice and simmer for 10 minutes with the lid on, stirring occasionally.

      Meanwhile, cook the pasta shells following the instructions on the package. Drain.
