I am always looking for ways to make food from scratch for my kids to avoid unnecessary consumption of preservatives where possible. WIth that, comes another challenge of ensuring your little ones get the joy of enjoying their favorite foods. This easy pasta recipe is my go to whenever my little one refuses to eat certain vegetables (mostly bitter gourd and other bitter veggies). You can always load this recipe with vegetables and chicken to ensure the kids get the nutrients they need. I have made it very simple and quick to help save time! Try it out with your own modifications and let me know how it turns out by tagging @recipesbyappy on social media.
