Baby Food 7 Veggies Bolognese Pasta | 9 to 12 Months | 180g

Imagine a bustling Italian kitchen, the rich aroma of simmering tomatoes and herbs filling the air as your little one claps their hands in anticipation. With Hug in a Bowl’s 7 Veggies Bolognese Pasta, you’re bringing a taste of tradition to your baby’s highchair. This hearty dish combines Irish lean beef mince, tender pasta, and a rainbow of organic veggies: tomatoes, butternut squash, courgettes, red pepper, celery, carrots, onions, and leek. Each spoonful is a celebration of textures—soft pasta, finely minced beef, and tiny veggie pieces—perfect for babies aged 9 to 12 months mastering chewing and self-feeding.

We slow-cook the beef until it’s melt-in-the-mouth tender, then blend it with roasted veggies for natural sweetness and depth of flavor. The pasta adds a playful chewiness, while the herbs bring a gentle hint of Italian flair. No salt, no preservatives—just wholesome ingredients ready in 3 minutes. Because even classic comfort food can fit into your busy day.

When your baby smears sauce on their cheeks and grins, you’ll know they’re getting iron from beef, vitamin A from squash, and a world of flavors to spark their love for wholesome foods. Because every bite should feel like a hug.
