Super Greens Pasta
Egg free, Gluten Free, Vegetarian
About the recipe
Kids love pasta and as a parent, I love a sauce that’s full of fresh greens and healthy fats. This Super Greens Pasta is a simple yet delicious way to pack in nutrients while still serving up a familiar family favourite.
The sauce is vibrant and creamy thanks to macadamias and avocado, with flavour from fresh basil, parsley, lemon and parmesan. You can serve it blended through warm pasta, or use it as a purée for younger babies by loosening the sauce with a little broth or water.
It’s the perfect “one meal, shared a few ways” kind of dish—and even better, it freezes beautifully for future meals.
Age suitable:
Suitable from 8 months+
For baby-led weaning, serve the sauce over soft pasta like pulse pasta or buckwheat spirals.
For younger babies, blend the sauce to a smoother consistency and offer as a purée or stirred into mashed veg.

This recipe contains potential allergens including macadamias (tree nuts) and parmesan cheese (dairy). We recommend introducing these ingredients individually first, on separate occasions, to monitor for any reaction before offering them combined in a recipe like this.
Serving suggestions:
Serve with your favourite pasta shape, pulse pasta, spelt, wholemeal or gluten-free options all work well.

Stir through risotto or serve over baked potatoes for variety.
Storage tips:
Store leftover sauce in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freeze in ice cube trays or small jars for up to 3 months.
Reheat gently and stir through freshly cooked pasta or grains.
