      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.

Tip

Please refer to The Basic Cookbook for the Vegetable stock paste recipe.

Different shaped pasta may vary slightly in cooking time. Adjust cooking time to ensure pasta is cooked al dente. Pasta that is cooked al dente is tender, but still firm to the bite.

This recipe is featured in the Cooking with Thermomix cooking class and also in our Everyday Cooking for Thermomix Families cookbook and recipe chip //bit.ly/1UTY2Ab

    This is delicious, the flavours are lovely, but I could not get my pasta al dente, while also getting the vegetable cooked just right, using this method. Next time I will do everything the same, except cook the pasta on the stove top, just so I can keep an eye on it. Will definitley make again.

    Submitted by courtneypatterson on 4. October 2018 - 23:43.

    I found the capsicum was more or less still raw but I didn’t mind because I like it crunchy, the sauce is delish, I also added 2 x chorizo sausages to this that I cut up and cooked in a fry pan then mixed in at the end (because; why not) turned out great and will be making it again!

    Submitted by guillena on 4. October 2018 - 03:12.

    Loved it with some changes:
    cut recipe in half. (4 servings)
    Tomato sauce is delicious. (I added some sundried tomatos and a little pinch of sugar)
    Veggies on varoma dont cook well. Better (to me) cook separately in a pan.
    the pasta i used had to cook for 12 min. I ended up cooking like 15'
    I'll be making this again for sure.

    Submitted by Oops_Inkblot on 25. July 2018 - 20:08.

    Really disappointing. The vegies in the Varoma were completely raw at the end, and the peas still frozen, so I had to steam them on the stovetop afterwards. 10 mins, even on reverse, meanwhile pulped my pasta into a gooey mess and the mixture baked onto the bottom of the bowl. The quantity made by the recipe is too much - more like catering quantities than for home cooking.

    Submitted by FrenchP on 31. January 2018 - 17:04.

    Made this dish today and it was very easy to make and the quantity was substantial. I only had one tin of canned tonatoes so I added in two fresh tomatoes as well. I also didn't have any feta but sprinkled with vegan parmesan at the end. I used gluten free pasta which cooked through quicker than expected, next time I will shorten the cooking time at the end if using the gluten free pasta again.

    I love this recipe for a quick and easy dinner that the family loves. I use up whatever veggies I have in the fridge and it always comes out great! The vegetable stock paste is a must and I use 2 TBS so it has a lovely depth of flavour to the meal. I substitute with GF pasta to make i a GF dish. Add it to your weekly go-to-meal and enjoy tmrc_emoticons.)

  • Had this at a cooking demo

    Submitted by Tinkermouse on 1. September 2016 - 19:38.

    Had this at a cooking demo last night so thought I would give it a whirl. What an absolutely delicious vegetarian dish.  All the family thoroughly enjoyed it.  Only change I made was instead of feta I used Meredith's Goat Cheese.  And one more tip I used gluten free pasta which I need to for my hubby and I forgot that it cooks much quicker than regular pasta.  So I will know a shorter cooking time for the gf pasta next time. Agree with all the comments that it makes a rather large quantity.

    Submitted by Amy M on 25. October 2015 - 19:04.

    I love this pasta. I had to double check when I calculated - less than 200 calories per serve (I left out the capsicum), although small serving sizes. Even so, a regular sized serve would be no more than 300 calories, pretty good for a pasta dish!

    Delicious! I didn't have tinned tomatoes so used fresh and chopped them in with the onion and carrot. Also chopped the zuccini and mushrooms so that the kids wouldn't find them (and they didn't!!)

    A lovely, hearty meal. The feta is so yummy in this dish. I would liken this recipe more to a chunky soup due to the amount of liquid. So, think of it as a soup or add a lot more pasta to make it a pasta dish. tmrc_emoticons.;)

    Easy peasy!!

     

    Made this tonight - spur of the moment after I couldn't decide what I wanted to eat. 

    I added a long red chilli for a bit of spice and I always add a bit of balsamic to any tomato based pasta sauce. I omitted the varoma steaming step and added the capsicum and zucchini in as a second stage of vege smash up at the beginning. finished up with enough for a meal and several weekday lunches.

    Such a quick, delicious meal that makes such a large amount. We used fresh tomatoes and chopped them in the tm. We also left out the Feta because we didn't have any in the fridge. Will definitely be making again.
