Hidden Veggie Ratatouille Pasta

8 different veggies ✨Vegan 🌱 Baby Led Weaning 👶🏼 Suitable 6+months

There’s 8 different veggies in this & it’s such a good hit of nutrition and flavours 💚 I used a ratatouille style base and then blended them to make a smooth sauce, although you could remove half the veg and dice them and stir through.

This makes 2L of sauce which is enough for 6 large adult portions and 3 baby/toddler portions (or tonnes of baby ones that you can freeze individually)
