About this dish
No added salt or sugar
Flavour comes from herbs, spices and the ingredients themselves.
A creamy pasta bake with no dairy at all. Red lentils, carrot and onion cook down into a rich oat milk sauce, folded through chifferi rigati, a ridged, curved pasta that holds the sauce in every bite.
Roasted broccoli on the side adds a familiar green. Vegetarian and made without dairy or egg, it is a comforting choice for little ones avoiding milk.

Is this pasta bake made without dairy?
Yes. The sauce is made with oat milk and red lentils, with no cream or cheese. It is vegetarian and made without egg too.

Microwave for 60 seconds (baby) or 90 seconds (toddler). For babies under 2, reheat on the hob with a dash of water and the lid on at medium heat for 4 minutes.
