Description

Delicious carbonara for toddlers using chorizo and spinach to create a simple and healthy dish you can share with your toddler!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 200g pasta
  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
  • 1 egg
  • 50g full fat Greek yoghurt
  • pinch of salt and pepper
  • 160g spinach
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 75g chorizo, finely sliced and cubed
  • 30g grated cheese (Parmesan, or finely grated cheddar)

Instructions

    1. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
    2. Meanwhile, pour some hot water from the kettle into a medium sized bowl so it’s about half full.
    3. In a frying pan, fry the chorizo in the oil until it softens, add the garlic and throw in the spinach until it i wilted. Take off the heat.
    4. Reserve a little water from the pasta and drain. Empty the bowl of water and pour in the yoghurt along with the cheese, salt and pepper. Crack the egg into the mixture then whisk with a fork until a sauce forms.
    5. Toss the spinach and chorizo into the sauce and add the pasta. Stir to coat evenly. The reserved water can be added if the sauce seems a little too thick.
    6. Serve.
