Zucchini-Noodle Porridge with Ground Meat
Zucchini contains many vitamins and is easily digestible. The wholemeal pasta also provides B vitamins and vegetable protein - a good addition to meat! Sage stimulates the intestinal function; however, you should dose the herb sparingly because babies are still sensitive.
Instead of noodles you can also cook pearl barley or prepare instant cereal groats with water.

Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 2 Zucchini (each about 150 grams)
- 4 Tbsps Canola oil
- 3 ozs mixed Ground meat
- 4 ozs Whole Grain Pasta
- 1 Sage
Preparation steps
Peel zucchini and grate coarsely on a box grater.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pot over low heat. Sauté the ground meat, stirring often. Add zucchini, cover and cook until meat is cooked through, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a pot filled with 750 ml (approximately 3 1/4 cups) water to a boil. Add pasta and sage leaf and cook according to package instructions.
Drain the pasta in a sieve, reserving the pasta water in a bowl.
If during cooking the meat mixture becomes too dry, stir in a little pasta water.
Add the pasta to the meat mixture and puree with an immersion blender, adding the remaining oil and as much pasta water to make a smooth consistency. Let cool slightly and feed 1 serving immediately. Let the rest cool completely and freeze in single-serve portions.
