This super-simple marinara recipe has just a touch of sweetness. In other words, perfect for babies eating pasta with tomato-based sauce for the first time!

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 minced garlic clove
• 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 6 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon agave nectar
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Cooked whole wheat pasta shells

1. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
2. Add the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, agave, basil, and oregano. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, as the sauce thickens.
3. Serve over cooked pasta shells of choice! We like the very small cavatelli that are just the right size for little fingers.
