Sweet Potato Greek Yoghurt Balls with Baby Pasta

Had to work late tonight so by the time i got home, i had to whip up an easy snack for LO while prepare dinner for the family . Thankfully i got my helper to put the chicken and herb in the slow cooker earlier so that's one dish down. Whew ....

Ok, back to LO, what should i make in 20 min ? A mash of cos ! Easy peasy, dump into steamer while i fry away for dinner . But that will be kinda boring isn't it, i thought. How about adding milk ? Nah .. Cheese ? BORING so that leaves the unopened Greek Yoghurt raising its hands .......me ! Me! ME !

So to cut the story short , CREAMY it should be. (Ta-dah!)


Sweet Potato Greek Yoghurt Balls w Baby Pasta

Ingredients
Half a sweet potato 
1 Tbsp of greek yoghurt (or more if you desire)
4 tsp baby pasta 

Method
Cook baby pasta and set aside . Steam sweet potato and mash.
Mix in greek yoghurt and pasta. Form into balls and pop 1 into mouth to reward yourself. Hahaha, that's MY method !

By the way, i sprinkled some basil leaves to make it more appealing.
Way too yellow for my liking . :p

Why did i decided to add baby pasta to my mash ? Cos i was hoping to give LO some texture to encourage chewing lest she becomes lazy.

  1. Hi how many balls did u make with the amt of ingredients? I left only peach and pear yoghurt in my fridge. Can I use that to replace Greek yoghurt?

    1. Hi, Depending on the size of balls you made, i managed to have 7 as it was pretty small .

      Greek yoghurt is creamier and thicker in consistency so for regular yoghurt you may like to add slightly lesser first and try to test if the mash is not too soft before adding more .

      Also flavoured yoghurt may have a stronger taste so its really up to the preference of your LO . :)

  2. Hi there, can I use potato instead of sweet potato instead? also, do i need to warm the greek yogurt or serve the yogurt in room temperature?
