Easy salmon pasta

Quick and easy salmon pasta recipe suitable for babies from 6 months. Makes a great lunch for mum too!

Ingredients

• small salmon fillet 1, checked for bones
• Baby pasta 50g
• small leek 1/2, sliced and diced
• Broccoli 50g
• parmesan cheese 3 tbsp, grated
• crème fraiche 4 tbsp
• Milk 5 tbsp
• Olive oil 1 tbsp

Method

• STEP 1
  Place the salmon in a microwaveable bowl with 2 tablespoons of milk and cook in the microwave for 2 minutes. Check the salmon for any bones and flake.
• STEP 2
  Cook the baby pasta. If you have a steamer pan, steam the broccoli above the boiling pasta for 4-5 minutes. Alternatively, cook the broccoli in a pan of boiling water for 4 mins.
• STEP 3
  Place the leek in a saucepan with a little olive oil and cook over the heat until soft. Add the rest of the milk, bring to the boil, then add the salmon and poach for 3-4 mins.
• STEP 4
  Stir in the cheese until melted, then add the pasta.
• STEP 5
  Stir in the crème fraiche and mash to the desired consistency.

If you don't have parmesan to hand, any full flavoured cheese, such as Cheddar, can be used.

This makes a great lunch for mum too – add an extra touch of cheese and some black pepper – and don't puree!
