Child Friendly Recipe: Chicken and Tomato Pasta

Food is something we love at Little Pioneers. Whether it be learning where it comes from, growing it in our nursery garden, or best of all... eating it! We also want to make sure all our meals are fresh and healthy and that our little ones are filling their tummies with something that's yummy and nutritious.

Here’s a great idea for something quick and easy to make at home... Chicken and Tomato Pasta, made with tasty ingredients such as basil, onions and passata verace. It's such an easy reciepe and something you can do together with your child. 

Ingredients:

-  Dried Basil

-  Passata Verace – 200ml

-  Penne Wholemeal Pasta – 200g

-  Large Spanish Onions – 40g

-  Small diced Chicken Breast – 200g

We're created a handy shopping list to download so your little ones can help find the ingredients.

Ready, steady, cook!

1. Firstly, dice the chicken and chop the onion.

2. Then cover with a little water and bring to the boil.

3. Let it simmer until cooked and then drain.

4. Next, cook the pasta and drain.

5. Mix the pasta, basil and chicken with the passata and serve.

*To make this vegetarian you can use peas and sweetcorn instead of the chicken.
