"This is a really tasty recipe I got from my Baby Purees book. I tasted this after making it and thought it would be great for the older kids as well. It has a great flavor and is so healthy. I added alphabet pasta for my 10mo old baby. It could easily be used with any pasta. I didn't have any mascarpone when I made it but I do think that would give it great flavor."

<p>I love to cook!!! I am always looking for new recipes to try for my three young boys and for my husband(DH). It is challenging at times to find something that everyone likes. I am always trying out new recipes and making things that are simple, tasty, and satisfying to everyone. I have been baking since I was about 9 years old and to this day it is my passion. I love to see a smile on someon's face when they bite into something so tasty. It gives me to best feeling.</p>
