Ingredients

3.5 to 4.2 oz Pasta
2.8 oz Canned tuna in olive oil
2 tbsp Cream cheese or ricotta
As needed Pasta water
100g to 200g Pasta
80g Canned tuna in olive oil
2 tbsp Cream cheese or ricotta
As needed Pasta water

Recipe Tips

For younger babies, use low-salt tuna and ricotta instead of cream cheese

Mash or blend the tuna mixture to make it smoother and ensure pasta is in an appropriate shape for easier grip

Method

  • 1
    Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package
  • 2
    Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the tuna and cream cheese, adding pasta water gradually until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy
  • 3
    Drain the pasta, reserving a little extra pasta water if needed
  • 4
    Add the pasta to the tuna mixture and toss well to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit more pasta water until you reach the desired consistency
  • 5
    Serve immediately
  • 6
    Buon appetito!
  • Storage

    Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours

    Reheat with a splash of water or milk to loosen the sauce
