As already mentioned, pasta and red sauce is big with older babies through the preschoolers at our preschool & daycare center. Every 6 weeks I make rotini with meaty spaghetti sauce (some of the time adding pepperoni and cheese to mix it up now and again) and chicken alfredo (usually rotini but intend to do just penne) and elbows with meaty sauce (has paprika and is called goulash on my menu-with the start of the new preschool year I intend to add beans to the goulash, too). All 3 of those pasta meals are made/mixed and placed in a couple baking pans and finished in the oven so that it's easier for the teachers to serve. Anyway, yes, pasta is definitely a winner here, too, ha ha. Of course, they do also love pizza. Oh, and quesadillas with cheese and mashed pinto/re-fried beans.
