Toddler Food 7 Veggies Bolognese Pasta | 12 Months and Above | 200g

Imagine a sunny afternoon in your Irish kitchen, the rich aroma of simmering tomatoes and herbs filling the air as your toddler giggles in their highchair, eager to dig in. Hug in a Bowl’s 7 Veggies Bolognese Pasta is here to turn mealtime into a colorful celebration. Designed for little ones 12 months and older, this hearty dish combines tender Irish lean beef mince, al dente pasta, and a vibrant medley of seven organic veggies—tomatoes, butternut squash, courgettes, red peppers, celery, carrots, and leeks. Each spoonful is a burst of flavor—sweet tomatoes mingle with earthy squash, tender beef crumbles with ease, and pasta adds a playful chew that strengthens tiny jaws.

We’ve crafted this Bolognese to nurture growing independence: the rich, veggie-packed sauce comforts new eaters, while tender beef and pasta encourage chewing practice. Our secret? Slow-cooking onions, leeks, and herbs until they infuse the sauce with a depth of flavor that feels like a warm hug—simple, wholesome, and brimming with love.

Short on time? Heat in just 3 minutes (stovetop or microwave), giving you moments to steal a deep breath or join their messy, joyful exploration. When your little one leans in for “more,” you’ll know they’re savoring iron for energy, vitamin A for bright eyes, and wholesome fuel for their next big adventure.
