About this dish
No added salt or sugar
Flavour comes from herbs, spices and the ingredients themselves.
Even the pasta shape is something we think about. For this bolognese we chose conchigliette from Northern Pasta Co: little spelt shells that catch the sauce, so every mouthful is full of flavour.
The shells are easy for younger toddlers to pick up with their fingers or scoop with a spoon, which gives them another chance to practise eating on their own. The slow-cooked beef sauce comes with broccoli and green beans on the side. New this season.

Questions parents ask
Is spaghetti bolognese good for babies?
Yes. Bolognese is soft and familiar, and our little shell pasta suits babies and toddlers learning to self-feed. It comes smooth, lumpy or bite-sized.
How do I reheat the pasta bolognese?
Microwave for 60 seconds (baby) or 90 seconds (toddler) in your own microwave-safe container. Add a splash of water and keep the lid on for a softer texture.
Is there a vegetarian bolognese?
Yes. The vegetarian version uses green lentils, aubergine, mushroom and spinach in the same sauce. Both versions are dairy-free and egg-free.
