\u2022 CREAMY TUNA PIE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n This dinner is so delicious and easy, it is worth cooking a little extra mash each time you make it so that you have leftovers for this toddler-friendly fish pie.

Switch the tuna for shredded chicken and follow the same method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2022 VEGGIE SAUCE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Leftover cooked pasta loves this sauce \u2013 and so does mash! This is also a great way to use up the leftover Squish 100% Fruit and Veg Purees<\/strong> you may have in your fridge too. You can use a mixture of them to make up the required amount \u2013 this recipe is forgiving so you could use a little more or a little less too. All Squish Purees<\/strong> come with a convenient resealable screw-on lid, so you don\u2019t need to waste a drop. Just use what you need then pop it back in the fridge for later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ingredients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2 Tbsp olive oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 medium onion, finely chopped<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 clove garlic, crushed<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 x 410 g can Rhodes Quality Chopped & Peeled Tomatoes<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1 x 110ml Squish 100% Butternut + Carrot<\/p>\n\n\n\n Salt and pepper<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2 Tbsp basil leaves, finely chopped<\/p>\n\n\n\n Method<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Heat the oil in a medium saucepan.
