Little Sprouts Learning

Cooking with kids is fun and rewarding! This Lotsa Pasta recipe was a huge hit here at Little Sprouts. The possibilities of what you could add to it are endless. You can use leftovers, whatever you need to use up from the fridge, and it’s healthy!

Easy, inexpensive, and something that’s great fun to cook with the kidlets. What could be better?

Cooking with Kids-Lotsa Pasta Recipe

There are many great reasons to let your kids get their hands on the fun in the kitchen. I had kids as young as one helping dump stuff in the skillet on the stove for this dish. As long as you watch them closely, kids can do many of the steps.

If you’re worried about them getting burned, you can let them stay at the table with the ingredients and just bring the skillet to them to dump in the ingredients. Then you can just carry the skillet back to the stove for cooking.
