But when it comes to feeding little ones, I like to keep things super simple\u2014no wine, no fancy steps\u2014just whole food ingredients that still taste delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This baby-friendly version is perfect for meal prep. It\u2019s rich in iron and protein, thanks to the beef mince, and full of flavour from gently simmered garlic, carrot, and tomato. The best part? It freezes beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I make a big batch and freeze it in \u00bc cup portions using a silicone tray\u2014ready to grab and defrost whenever I need it. Serve it with your favourite pasta (we love lentil or chickpea pasta for a protein boost), or spoon it into veggies like mashed potato or pumpkin for a hearty little meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Age suitable:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suitable from 6 months+<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage tips:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fridge:<\/strong> Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Freezer:<\/strong> Freeze in 1\/4 cup portions for up to 3 months\u2014defrost overnight in the fridge or warm gently in a saucepan with a splash of broth or water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This simple bolognaise is packed with veggies &#038; iron-rich beef &#8211; perfect for babies, toddlers, and family meals.
