Notes :

- Parmesan cheese or cheddar cheese are apt for making this pasta. I used parmesan.
- Instead of nuts powder you can use tiny cut almonds, pistachios and cashews.
- You can shred the broccoli using a hand or with blender. You could add cooked broccoli florets as such too.
- Always check with your doctor before giving any new food to your baby.
