Creamy Pasta With Chicken and Broccoli image

A delicious combination of chicken, broccoli, mushrooms and tomatoes in a creamy white sauce, lightly flavoured with cheese and spices. Tossed with whole wheat pasta, it makes a hearty, satisfying meal. Add some extra milk to baby's portion to help keep texture moist enough to mash and swallow easily.
