Copycat Nurture Life Chicken Meatballs with Mini Pasta
Equipment
- 1 Medium Pot
Ingredients
- 1/4 Cup Italian style shredded cheese
- 1/3 Box Ditalini Barilla pasta
- 2 Patties Don Farms Grilled Chicken Patties Or other natural chicken
- To Taste Onion Powder, thyme, Italian seasoning and garlic powder
Instructions
- Start a medium pot of water about half full on high on the stove to bring it to a boil for the pasta.
- As the water boils, cook 2 chicken patties using the microwave instructions then place in the fridge to cool in bowls.
- Once the pasta comes up to a boil, place 1/3 of the box of pasta in the boiling water and turn down the water to medium high. The noodles cook for 11 minutes so that they are extra soft and baby friendly.
- While the pasta cooks, cut up the chicken into finger bite sized pieces.
- After the pasta finishes cooking, strain the water out and do a cold water rinse on the pasta. Even though I wouldn't normally recommend this, I didn't want the pasta to continue to cook and it needed to be cold for placing in containers.
- Get whatever containers that you have on hand that are freezer friendly. Put the chicken on the bottom and sprinkle some cheese and seasoning on top. Add the noodles and sprinkle some cheese on top and extra seasoning if desired.
