. But to appreciate my son I try to include the things which he likes on a regular basis. So pasta is on the menu once a week at the least. I always make it healthy with lots of vegetables and very minimal or no cheese. So here it is a simple and low-fat spaghetti dish. Do you’ll jazz up pasta in different ways? Do share with me in the comments.
4 cloves garlic minced
2 cups mushroom chopped
4 cups broccoli chopped
1/2 tsp pepper or to taste
Salt to taste
handful black olives
parmesan cheese
Method
Then goes the broccoli followed by salt and pepper. Add the tomato sauce and mix everything well.
Let the vegetables cook for say 10 minutes. Meanwhile get the spaghetti going. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add salt and the spaghetti. Cook as per package instructions.
Vegetables are done by now.
Time to bring the dish together. Add the cooked noodles to the vegetable mix.
Toss the mix around so that the sauce gets coated evenly over the noodles.
Done with mixing. It looks delicious already right
Both my kids love black olives. They can eat cans and cans of it with no complaints. Slice few olives to add to the spaghetti.
Bring it all together. Add the olives and a little bit of parmesan cheese for color. I have also added few tomato pieces. Simple, delicious and healthy spaghetti ready.
Enjoy!
Tips
1. Use whatever vegetable is your kid’s favorite.
2. Use more cheese if needed.

For my kids , I prepare almost like what you did here. But if it is being prepared for adults, then I jazz it up with some masala (coconut-green chillies-coriander leaves-peanuts-garlic) with loads of veggies
really i find feeding toddlers a challenging job. Good to hear that your kids love to eat olives, spaghetti looks wonderful..

Love your version..thanks..
Pasta with all the veggies looks healthy and hearty. I jazz up store bought pasta sauce in similar way but with different veggies like carrot, zucchini etc. You are so right about 3 year old's taste, my son is exactly like your daughter, can;t tell what he likes and does not like. One thing he likes for sure are peanuts and I make sure that I add them to his lunch so doesn't complain while eating in school.
Looks absolutely wonderful… delicious & healthy.
I've shared few awards with you. Please accept these
