Notes
PASTA VARIETY: In the pictures I used Stelline pasta (tiny stars, pierced in the centre). They are a fun shape for kids and a good soup pasta. You can replace with any smaller pasta. (e.g Conchigliette (baby shells), Corallini (short pasta tubes)) or macaroni / elbow macaroni. Nutritional information is a ROUGH guide only, calculated using an online nutrition calculator.
