tomato based pasta sauce

1/4 cup soaked (and sprouted if you can) adzuki beans or other small legumes
1/2 cup chopped zucchini, broccoli, kale, pumpkin and onion
1 T chopped tomatoes
1 T tomato paste
pinch of garlic
herbs to taste (i like basil, marjoram, or oregano)
30g ground cashews (or whole cashews if you plan to blend the whole thing at the end)
1/2 tsp of golden kelp


cook adzuki beans by boiling until soft - about 20mins. strain and put aside. cook vegies and tomato in a covered pot with a bit of water to steam. once vegies are soft, but still brightly coloured, stir in the tomato paste and garlic and herbs. keep on the heat until tomato paste heats through but don't over cook the vegies. take off the heat. mash beans with a fork and stir through. add ground cashew and golden kelp. this sauce can be blended for smaller babies.
serve with the pasta of your choice (or your baby's choice!)
