This vibrant, creamy pumpkin pasta comes together in minutes. Using mild cheese and sweet pumpkin puree, it's a comforting and nutritious meal perfectly sized for tiny hands and growing toddlers.
Boil the pasta in a pot of water without salt until it is very soft and safe for your baby or toddler to chew easily. Drain and keep warm.

Pour in the whole milk and sprinkle in the grated cheese. Whisk continuously until the cheese melts and you have a smooth, creamy orange sauce.
Toss the cooked, warm pasta into the pumpkin sauce, stirring well so every piece is coated. Let it cool to a safe temperature before serving to your little one.
