If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!

Yum! First time cooking this. It was quick and easy. I didnt add pine nuts but it was still very delicious. Adding this to my favourites.
I used cashews and 3/4 of the amount of oil. I fried off some zucchini sperately then added to the mixture at the end! This is the second time I've made it two nights in a row!
Made for dinner tonight with a few changes. Used beef mince which I browned first.
Add 1/4 leftover tin of coconut cream with another 1/4 of a tin of water.
Used cashews and didn't use any parmesan as can't have dairy.
Served on zucchini noodles.
Overall was pleasant but nothing to rave about. Needed a lot of seasoning as it lacked a bit of flavour.
I doubled the pesto and freezing the rest for another meal.
My lot loved your recipe, especially the extra sauce. They're always complaining about recipes that aren't as saucy and I usually have to double the sauce ingredients to keep them happy. Thank you from my happy family
I found this very runny, would use probably not even half the coconut cream and it needs the butterfly whisk as the chicken just gets shredded!
Hi do you cook the pasta in the thermomix if so would you do this before or after you have made the receipe?
I made this tonight but used rocket instead of spinach, 2 tbsp cream instead of coconut cream, less cheese, and served with zucchini noodles. Delish!
Easy. Quick. Kids love it.
Delicious! We had this last night and it was lovely. Leftovers even more tasty the next day. Yes - as the other reviewers mentioned- I only used 3/4 of the recommended coconut milk. Thanks for a lovely recipe
Great receive but Sauce becomes a bit thin - I would leave at least half the cream out.
