Cheesy Courgette & Baby Spinach Bake

KIDS
6 - 9 months

3 medium courgettes
200g baby spinach
20g butter
20g flour
200ml whole milk
100g Cheddar cheese, grated

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, 180 fan, gas mark 6.  Slice 3 medium courgettes and steam for 10-15 minutes until soft.  Meanwhile, place washed baby spinach leaves in a pan, cover and cook gently for 3-4 minutes.

In a pan, mix the butter and flour with the milk.  Heat, mixing with a whisk until the sauce bubbles for a minute.  Remove from the heat and stir in 65g of the Cheddar until the sauce is nice and smooth.

Arrange the veg in an ovenproof dish and pour over the sauce.  Sprinkle with the remaining 35g Cheddar and bake on the top shelf for 25 minutes.  Make or blitz into a puree.
