Pasta and homemade sauce

This is a really easy, simple recipe to make your own pasta sauce for your little one, combined with tiny pasta shells and its perfect for babies, use bigger pasta or spaghetti for a twist! 

Mia loves this, which I was surprised about because plain pasta is not such a hit and tomatoes on their own she's really not keen on. But combine it all together and she guzzles it down!

For the sauce you will need:

•Fresh tomatoes - vine tomatoes are good for this
•A little bit of garlic 
•Fresh basil leaves

•Skin tomatoes and chop. 
•Put into a sauce pan with a tiny bit of extra virgin olive oil. 
•Add one clove of crushed garlic
•Add a good handful of basil
•Let tomatoes cook down
•Once hot, using a hand blender, blend until a sauce consistency (this sauce is quite thin - it can be used as a soup as well!) but if you combine with your pasta it's coats it nicely.
