At Horsley kids we have carefully looked at what children require in their daily menu plan what concerned us was the amount of foods that contained preservatives and not knowing the true history behind the product for the way it was made and the ingredients used. For this main reason, we try and make all foods in-house, like our pasta. We make all our pasta in house following our special organic wholemeal pasta recipe. This recipe makes our pasta easy for our children to digest without losing the goodness of carbohydrates.

This pasta making process is made easy and at restaurant quality with our “La Monfarina, P6 pasta extruder”. Imported from Italy, the P6 makes 6kg of pasta in about 20 minutes. Complete with quality brass dies we are capable of making all types of pasta’s, such as; lasagne sheets, fettuccini and all our kids’ favourite short pasta’s like; fusilli, penne and our extra short pastina for our Nido (0-2’s) room babies and broths. Another key area of making our own pasta is freshness and quality. Our flour supplier sends us well packaged and certified organic flour (plain and wholemeal) allowing us to quality control our ingredients so that we can offer the best possible results for our children.
