3. Add in tomato paste & chopped fresh tomatoes.
4. Add in cheese at last & stir thoroughly.

*Break the pasta into shorter lengths before cooking (easier) so that you don't have to worry if baby can't chew or digest well.
*Stir-fry chopped garlic with the sauce for more fragrant if your baby can take it.
*For a simpler version (lazy version, hehe), just use the bottled/canned paste sauce. :)
