Mushroom Stroganoff



Adapted from "Organic Baby & Toddler Cookbook" by Lizzie Vann

1 t olive oil
1/2 small onion, chopped
6 small button mushrooms
1/2 small garlic clove, crushed
1 small potato, chopped
2 T milk
3 T water
1/3 c small pasta shapes
1 t fresh parsley (optional)
Grated parmesan cheese (optional)

Cook pasta according to directions.  Set aside.

Heat oil in pan over medium heat.  Fry onion, mushrooms and garlic until soft, about 5 mins.  Add potato, milk, and water to the pan and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding more liquid as needed.

Add pasta, add parsley or parmesan cheese if desired.

Does A like it?
Yes

Notes: I found elbow pasta that says it is made with squash and carrot and I used it for this recipe.  I also used pre-cooked, diced frozen potatoes, since I had them in the freezer.  This probably sped up the cooking time.
Update: A loves this one!  I will want to add more mushrooms next time - I just used the rest of what I had leftover from another recipe the first time I made it.  Would be great with additional vegetables as well.  This works as a finger food, or as a spoon-fed meal.
