Do I have the only kid on the planet who won't eat pasta??
DS is not interested in any form of pasta - spaghetti, twists, macaroni, you name it - with sauce, with no sauce, cheese (as in mac n cheese), or with just some olive oil and seasoning. He won't take ONE bite! I realize it's not the end of the world because he eats lot of other things, but if I could get a pasta into the dinner rotation for him even just once a week, it would really help with menu planning. Any tips?
Re: Pasta
Thanks for the ravioli suggestion! I tried tortellini once but that was not a success but I haven't tried ravioli. At first I thought it was a slippery texture issue but now he can pick up the pieces I cut up, but as soon as he picks them up and realizes what it is, I get the "ick" face and he shoves it all to the side of his tray. Nine times out of ten, he won't even taste it.
My daughter did that for a while and I just kept putting it on her plate. One day she picked it up and started eating it and we haven't looked back. Mind you, she'll only eat it with tomato sauce, but that's easy enough!
