Recipe's preparation

    Pasta
  1. Cook pasta to packet directions.

    If cooking on stovetop, add broccoli florets in last two minutes of cooking.

    I like to add boiling water & the broccoli to my Thermoserver, add pasta and close lid and leave it. It should be cooked by the time the sauce has cooked. 

    Once cooked, drain and place into Thermoserver or large bowl on top of baby spinach leaves.

     

  2. Creamy Zucchini & Bacon Sauce
  3. Add parmesan cheese to bowl- 10 sec/sp 9 to grate. Set aside

    Trim zuchinni and cut into thirds. Turbo .5 secs. Set aside

    Add onion & garlic- 3 sec/ sp 7

    Add bacon- saute 5 mins/100 deg/Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" /Gentle stir setting"Gentle stir setting"

    Add zucchini- saute 3 mins/100 deg/Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" /Gentle stir setting"Gentle stir setting"

    Add cream- cook 2 mins/100 deg/Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" /Gentle stir setting"Gentle stir setting"

    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    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!

    This dish is looking and tasting good.....I cooked the pasta in the thermodish but didn't use broccoli as I didn't have any... I had to take some pasta out because I wouldn't be able to fit in the sauce otherwise. I used penne pasta not angle hair. About to eat now and its delicious.

    Yummy tmrc_emoticons.) I forgot to add the broccoli and baby spinach but it was so yummy without them so I didn't mind

    This was delicious, used spiral pasta, cooked in the thermi , all I had, and leftover leg ham,  spinach and marrows out of the garden. Tore the spinach and covered with boiling water in the basket in the thermo server for a couple of minutes before adding cooked pasta. Hubby who hates pasta had seconds, definitely a favourite

    This was easy to make and yummy. Kids loved it too and they don't normally like creamy pasta sauces.

    This was very yummy!  I boiled the pasta and broccoli together in hot salted water for 2 mins only as angel hair pasta cooks quickly. My main tip would be to cook only 300-320g of pasta for the quantity of sauce. I used a low fat cooking cream too just to lower the fat content with the bacon. Will definitely make again!   tmrc_emoticons.)
