I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
1. Quickly boil a small amount of water in the kettle then add about 1 inch to your Thermoserver to pre-warm it, lid on.
2. Fill the kettle right up and set to boil.
3. Add the onion to your TM bowl & chop 2sec/sp7.
4. Add the carrot & chop 2-3 sec/sp5.
5. Add the butter & ham/bacon then saute 4mins/ 100 degrees /sp1.
6. While this is cooking, tip the inch of water out of the Thermoserver, add the dry pasta then fill almost to the top with the freshly boiled water. Give it a stir to separate the pasta before placing the lid on.
7. Add the cubed cheeses, peas & corn, mustards, flour, milk & seasoning to the Thermomix bowl. Cook 10mins/90 degrees/
"Counter-clockwise operation" /sp3.8. Once the sauce has finished cooking, drain & rinse the pasta through a colander (your Varoma base works nicely), then tip pasta back into the Thermoserver. Add the sauce & stir to combine.

Great easy mac & cheese for the kids. Winners all round here. I changed my slightly but a great dish non the less!
Used leftover pasta and rest of leg ham, frozen missy veggies too
Was very yummy, only had my thermie for a week, was quick and easy to make, thanks for sharing
Great alternative to get the kids to eat more veg however I prefer the traditional
So easy!! And delicious too... Thank you so much
Great recipe. I added some gourmet stock powder to my sauce, which tasted great. My pasta was a little too al dente but it was the type of pasta I used. I will make it again.
Thanks so much for sharing this, its a favorite in our household, miss 22 months LOVES it, and I love that this makes so much I can freeze it for later
Our new favourite meal!!!
Thank you for sharing!!!! Such a clever way to do the pasta too and no pots to clean woohooo!!!
Yum! Kids loved it.. I cooked the pasta seperate in the pan while making the sauce in the thermie and brought it together in the thermoserver at the end! Great quick meal. Thanks
As it stands in these instructions, the sauce was undercooked with a distinct floury taste. Subsequently I have added cornflour instead of plain flour & this worked great. I cooked step 7 on reverse which certainly kept the sauce chunkier.
I used small spirals and they were undercooked as well using this method, however I think if I had have rested the sauce & pasta together in the thermoserve for longer this might have turned out better.
I would try this recipe again but as with one of the comments above I would probably cook the onion/carrot mixture for longer ?5 minutes & step 7 on reverse.
