This is a really good iron source from the spinach & oats (especially when paired with a tomato sauce for the extra vitamin C, or a squeeze of lemon to help make the iron more absorbable). You can use whatever flour you want, & it is smoother with plain flour but the oat adds a nice flavour and a better nutrient profile 👏🏼
We served ours with an avocado sauce – avocado mashed with olive oil, garlic, nutritional yeast & lemon… and it went down very well!! Plate licking & palming it in to her mouth 😋 this is a go to in our house (for mum as well)
Two Ingredient Spinach Pasta
Ingredients
- 150 g Baby spinach
- 150 g Oat flour
Instructions
- Put a pot of water on to boil
- Add 150g of baby spinach & 150g of oat flour to a food processor and blend till a dough forms (a Tbsp of water may be needed if the spinach is dry and it doesn’t seem to be coming together - should take approx. 1 min)
- Roll in to a ball in your hands & then use kitchen scissors to chop bits approx 1 inch in size in to the pot of boiling water (making sure not to splash yourself!)
- Cook for 5 mins on medium to high
- Strain and rinse
- Serve with whatever you like
Notes
This keeps in the fridge for a couple days or in the freezer for 2 months. Just add a little water when reheating with a sauce.

Hi ☺️ how many servings for baby/adult are there please?
If serving you and a little one I would say around 2-3 baby.toddler portions and 1 adult. For just little ones around 5-6 portions depending how much they eat. x
Made a batch of this today. Really good! Reminds me a lot of gnocchi. Thasks so much, my 18 month old and I love your recipes!
