P’Sghetti–a Baby Puree


Growing up I remember a friend telling me that they went to this restaurant every weekend and she could never say spaghetti. When she ordered her dinner she would say P’sghetti…they soon changed the name of the Spaghetti on their menu to P’sghetti. 


Every kid loves spaghetti, and Italian blood kids…well they just are given it in a bottle from the time they are born. Well, maybe not that early but as soon as they can eat solids I think it is given. Bennett is an eater, which is pretty funny because he only takes about 4 oz in his bottle before he calls it quits. When food was introduced to him he took off. There isn’t anything this boy won’t eat…that is except Ella’s Spaghetti Pouches. When I saw this in the store I grabbed and figured we would give it a try…much to our families dismay he hated it. I tried everything to get him to eat it, but he just didn’t like it. I thought maybe it was because it had seasonings, so I made a chicken casserole for him and he ate that right up. I thought “this may be the end of Italian eating in this family”…but then I got an idea. 

I decided I would make Bennett my own sauce and maybe he would like it. I mean think of Chef Boyardee Vs. your Grandma’s sauce. No Comparison. I have made simple sauces before, so I figured it couldn’t be that hard. I used fresh Campari tomatoes, instead of can (hate can everything)…and cooked up a chicken breast while the sauce was simmering. Below is the recipe I used, feel free to add in peppers–onions–beef. The list is endless.




Chicken P’Sghetti

  • Container of Campari Tomatoes (or 2 regular sized tomatoes)
  • 1 1/2 Cups of Water
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon of Oregano
  • Pinch of Sugar
  • 1 Garlic Clove
  • 1 Chicken Breast cooked
  • Handful of Fresh Spinach (I used fresh spinach and chopped it up in the food processor)
  1. Put 1 1/2 cups of water on to boil. 
  2. Once boiling put the tomatoes in for a couple minutes (2-3) minutes. 
  3. Remove them carefully with a slotted spoon. Remove the skin (it should peel right off). 
  4. Place in food processor to puree. 
  5. Once pureed, place back in the pan with water. 
  6. Add basil, oregano, garlic, sugar, and spinach
  7. Let simmer for 30 minutes, then add pureed chicken. You can leave to simmer longer–or serve then.
  8. Serve with pasta and a sprinkle of cheese–we used orzo. 
  9. Freeze the remaining in ice cube trays.

Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of tho Bless all you kindergarten teachers. Or any of those who are telling your students to leave their shoes on and eat a snack (not a meal). Also, any other moms out there that their kid missed their siblings more than you? 🤦🏼‍♀️ oh well, he enjoyed it and his teacher is literally the sweetest thing! How is your first week going? Any case of the kids say the craziest thing? I love the first day of school, and it’s such a special moment to watch and see how each child takes the day and runs with it. 💙

How are you celebrating National Book Lovers Day? How are you celebrating National Book Lovers Day? Picking books out at the library each week is my favorite part of the week when homeschooling my boys! We go through a list of books that our just right for their reading level, and put them on hold at the library. When they are ready we drive thru and pick them up. The best part? We can look at all the books we read at the end of the school year, and use that as part of our portfolio. Do you utilize your library? How do you pick out your books?
