Tips for toddlers: Chop the veggies, basil and spinach small so it’s not a choking hazard.
Tips for allergen moms: I used @jovialfoods rice based Mafalda pasta and if you visit their website they tell you exactly which products share lines with allergens and what allergens are in the facility. It’s incredibly helpful!
