There are many vegetables that my little guy will eat, but for some reason he will not touch broccoli. I think it is the texture- he just spits it out. Needless to say, I was challenged to find a different way to get this superfood into his little belly. So I just created a little sauce instead. It is SUPER easy and gets perfectly lodged into corkscrew pasta, which he gobbles up!
Boil ½ box of whole wheat corkscew pasta
Steam a bunch of broccoili
Dice 1/4- 1/2 of a white onion
Put steamed broccoli, diced onion, and 1 Teaspoon chopped garlic, and 2 teaspoons olive oil into food processor with a couple of tablespoons of parmesean cheese (optional)

Pulse until chopped finely
Mix together with pasta and serve!
Note: if you feel like broccoli mixture is too dry and isn't sticking to the pasta, add a little more olive oil to make it more pasty
