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 a great family dinner. It would be a great dinner for kids. I cooked the pasta on the stove while cooking the meat. I didn't add the wine because I had fully cooked the pasta & thought it wouldn't absorb all the liquid that was already in the mince.
I loved it but husband thought it was a bit bland. We usually eat spicy food with big flavours. Next time I cook this I will add fresh garlic & basil to add more flavour.
This makes a lot & it would easily feed 8 adults with a salad or veg. I have some for the freezer which is great.
Thank you for this recipe 😍
Tasty recipe, thank you. I doubled the recipe and it fed three adults, two teens and made enough for work lunches x3. I cooked the pasta in a separate pot.
Loved this recipe, I made a few changes as didn’t add water, wine or bay leaf to the mince but added 1 teaspoon of crushed garlic and some oregano to the mince mixture was nice and thick so it all stayed together when serving.
Will definitely be making this again 😁
I didn't find this recipe very good. You definitely need to leave the water out of the mince. Easier to just cook the macaroni on the stove top while you are making the meat sauce. And I just used the Bechemel Sauce recipe that is on the Thermomix Chip which only uses half the amount of milk.
i loved this it was yummy. I found the recipe to b missing a few things like eggs for the pasta base and to combine the parmesan and eggs with the pasta. There was certainly no shortage of sauces this meal would feed around 8 if there was more pasta cooked for the base.
This was awesome. My family loved it and it reminded us of Yia Yia's Pastitsio! Thanks.
This is a great recipe. I tried it with gluten free pasta and it was also delicious. Make sure you use good quality pasta and cook it separately. I also added a layer of garlic salt between the meat sauce and the white sauce. If you like garlic, give this a go. Cheers. TDG
Definitely tastes the best the day after when all the flavours are nicely combined. As per previous comments I used half of the white sauce and even that was still plenty and also noticed 2 eggs missing in ingredients list for pasta base
thank you for the recipe!
Yum
Don't forget to grate your parmesen cheese for the white sauce section before you add the buttter and flour. This wasn't stated in the method and I as alreadyhalf way through making it when i realized I hadn't grated the parmesen.
But We loved it yummo!!!!
We liked this recipe. I found the pasta soaked up the extra liquid on cooking/standing. Eggs for pasta are not in recipe list.
