Recipe is created forTM 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 was way to bitter & strong.
I halved the mixture & only used 200g of fresh parsley & it was just like eating a bunch of parsley by itself as the other ingredients were way overpowered. I tried to rescue it by adding extra Parmesan & cream but even my husband who normally loves pesto wouldn’t eat it as it was too strong for him too. I can usually save recipes if they don’t turn out exactly to our taste but this went straight in the bin.
Beautiful recipe, I reduced the parsley as per the comments, it was around 350g whole. Incredibly tasty, mild and smooth.
A great way to use up an abundance of parsley!
Agree that 500g is too much, it's a bit too bitter with parsley and it lost the cheese flavour. I used cashews instead of pine nuts, and it's still good.
500g of parsley seems a little too much! However I made this with about 3 good handfuls of flat leaf and curly parsley and it was amazing. Will be making again thank you for sharing.
This pesto is awesome!!!! I used about two and a half bunches of parsley (not the 500g recommended) & it tastes delicious. Can't wait to put it with some pasta but it would even be nice as a spread on crusty bread. Will definitely be making this again
