It's no secret — kids hate the green stuff, especially if it tastes like broccoli or spinach. So TODAY invited Missy Chase Lapine, author of “The Sneaky Chef,” to talk tips and treats. She also shared one of her “healthy” recipes, which are designed to fool even the smallest food critics. Try them for your children:
Serves 8 to 10
INGREDIENTS
Preheat oven to 375 degrees and spray a 13-by-9 glass baking dish with oil.
Cook pasta according to package directions or until slightly firm. Drain and place in the prepared baking dish. Before continuing with the baked ziti begin making the Orange and White Puree.
Mix tofu, tomato sauce, White and Orange Purees in a bowl. Toss pasta with the sauce mixture and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Top the pasta with a combination of the parmesan and the remaining 2 cups of mozzarella cheese, sprinkling evenly over the top.
Cover ziti with foil. Bake 30 minutes. Uncover. Bake another 10 to 15 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
