INSTRUCTIONS

1. Start by adding the pasta to the Beaba Babycook® Pasta/Rice cooker insert. Fill the water reservoir to water level 3 (Babycook Solo Express 170ml on Standard Cooking Mode) and add 1/2 cup/120ml water to the insert with the pasta. Steam cook the pasta. Once steamed, transfer the spaghetti to a bowl and set it aside.

3. Fill the steamer reservoir with water up to level 3 (Babycook Solo Express 160ml on Standard Cooking Mode) and steam the ingredients.

4. Once the mince and veggies are steamed, carefully open the lid and remove the steaming basket.

5. Transfer the contents of the steaming basket into the Babycook® blending bowl. Keep the water at the bottom of the steaming basket as it holds a lot of flavor!

6. Blend the mixture to your desired texture for your baby.

7. Serve the purée over the cooked spaghetti. Top with freshly chopped basil and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, if desired.

8. Serve and enjoy!

9. The Bolognese sauce can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
