Nutritional values

Carrots, apple and cream cheese combine to make a gentle pasta companion suitable for children, which can easily take on any favourite tomato sauce. And the best thing about it: thanks to the carrots, the noodle volcano "spits out" a great deal of growth-promoting vitamin A.

The particularly rich whole grain spaghetti is unfortunately not always well received by children. Try a mix of conventional and wholemeal pasta. But beware: wholemeal pasta needs a longer cooking time. So put the classic spaghetti into the cooking water later.
