Toddler Treats – Rainbow Spaghetti

I hope you enjoyed last weeks Cauliflower Crunchies! They were a perfect way to re-introduce a vegetable that my toddler wouldn’t normally enjoy.  This week I have something for you that I have been wanting to do for quite some time. And thankfully recently I was able to make it. I was impressed with how quick and easy this was to make my own Rainbow Spaghetti! YOu’d be pleased to know this it is super easy to make at home! 

What you’ll need:

– Spaghetti pasta
– Food colouring of your choice
– Ziplock/freezer bags

The how-tos:

It’s so simple! All you need to do it boil up your pasta, once ready you drain it off and run over with cold water. I chose to use five colours, so I needed five little bags and I added 4 tbsp of water and then a few drops of my chosen food colouring {mix it up} and then I separated the pasta into each bag. 

Then drain off each bag under the water tap to drain off any access food colouring and just add them to your chosen dish {mine was a little beauty from Ikea} and all I did then was heat up some sauce from a tin of spaghetti hoops to give it a bit of saucy goodness, popped it into the microwave for 20secs to heat it up and serve.

I was pretty impressed with how vibrant the pasta came out with the colours I chose and I was excited to serve it up to Annabelle.

When I first gave it to her she wasn’t too sure what I had put in front of her, due to it looking so pretty and colourful. But she loves anything spaghetti/noodles/chow mein related so I knew she’d enjoy it once she tasted it and I was right.

It is a super fun dish to make and really doesn’t take too long to put together! Who knew making rainbow spaghetti would be so fun! I think the whole process took me about half an hour and so worth it seeing how much Annabelle enjoyed it. Next, I’ll try it on the bigger kids! As I’m sure their reception of it will be the same as their little Sisters.
