Pasta is a great meal option once your baby begins solids. Always boil the pasta until it is very soft—it should easily mash between your fingers with light pressure. You can serve it with vegetable-based sauces using pureed peas, spinach, cauliflower, or carrots, often adding paneer to the sauce to provide extra protein and a creamy texture. Remember to cut long shapes like spaghetti into smaller pieces with scissors to prevent choking.
