Take a one cup measuring scoop and put it right in your colander that way as you go over to the colander with your pot and you're about to just dump it.

You're like, oh yeah, wait a minute. Let me scoop out this water. I just usually take a mug and immediately put it by my pot as like a little cue that I'm supposed

to scoop out a mug full of water.

Welcome to didn't I just feed you.

A podcast about feeding kids.

Hi, I'm Megan.

And I am Stacy.

And this week we are talking about one of our favorite back pocket meals.

Pasta.

I feel like we talk about pasta all the time in some ways because it comes up in nearly every episode since we focus so much on really accessible, easy, quick, delicious dinners that everybody will love and pasta just like fits the bill.

But actually, it's been almost five years since we specifically focused in on pasta.

Yeah, episode 38, which is still a great episode to go back and listen to.

I am laughing a little bit because

we've just grown into our profession since then. Is that what it is? It's the nicest way to say it.

And also, if you're keeping track, we're technically 250 plus episodes of just main feed episodes, if you're keeping track. And that's not including

like the mini episodes we did one year or now we have a couple years of bonus episodes in our

community. So like we've talked a lot about food and feeding families, and we only have one pasta episode, which

kind of surprises me. Yeah, it's really crazy because I go through phases where we don't eat

pasta a lot, but still in my mind, pasta really is the hero of family meal time. It really does.

Check all the boxes. I already said it.

Kids like it. It's easy. It is so incredibly versatile. It can be really quick to make. I do think that we should talk about some rules and tips because I do think that there are like a couple of really simple things that

can be done that elevate pasta and keep it from being soggy or kind of just like a little greasy.
