    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!

    Loved it. Substituted the spinach with blue cheese with 2 mins of cooking time to go. Family raved about it. Will be cooking this again for sure.

    Added bacon so that my kids might eat it. And the big kids (6 & 4) both surprised me and had a bowl full each (without spinach of course 🙄) 🙌🏻 . My stroke of genius was cooking the pumpkin on baking paper and then using the same baking paper to put the cut up bacon pieces on (I did 3 shortcut rashers) and cooking the bacon in the oven while the risotto cooked. Chucked the cooked bacon in at the end with the Parmesan. Hardly any dishes that way! Will make this again.

    This is SO incredible! I added more pumpkin and it was (as expected) a much deeper orange and so sweet. It's a weekly special!
