Healthy pasta

Wanted to cook some healthy food for the kids. Choices here are limited, healthy food has to be home-cooked. But to kids, healthy food means yucky food. To prepare a healthy meal is one thing, getting them to eat it, is another. I have learned to camouflage my food in such a way that, it's healthy and they will still eat it.


This is whole grain pasta with sardines, pork and brocoli. Can't see a trace of all the healthy stuff but they are all in there.

Sardines are known to be the healthy fish. It's one fish which you can eat from head to tail and down to the bones. Extremely rich in calcium which is essential for kids to have good teeth and bones.

Very simple, cook your usual meat bolognese, add in one can of sardines, mashed them up and add brocoli. Cook till they are soft and stir them till they disintegrate into the sauce. Kai loves spicy food now. Just add grated black pepper. Healthy and yum...mi and they don't even know about it ;)
