Recipe's preparation

1. Cook Pasta (Stovetop preferred for quantity):
Cook cavatappi in salted water per package instructions. Drain and set aside. (Thermomix can cook pasta, but not ideal for 1 lb due to volume.)

2. Shred Cheeses (Do in batches):
• Add cheese (cubed) to mixing bowl, no more than 250 g at a time.
• Speed 7 / 10 sec.
• Transfer to a separate bowl and repeat until all cheese is shredded. Set aside.

3. Make Roux:
• Add butter to mixing bowl.
• 3 min / 100°C / Speed 1.
• Add flour.
• 2 min / 100°C / Speed 1.5.

4. Add liquids and seasonings:
• Add evaporated milk, heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, bouillon powder, and mustard powder.
• 8 min / 95°C / Speed 3.

5. Melt in Cheese:
• Add all shredded cheeses (reserve some for topping if baking).
• 5 min / 90°C / Speed 2.

6. Combine with Pasta:
• Pour sauce over cooked pasta in a large bowl or baking dish. Mix well.
• Optionally, transfer to a baking dish, top with reserved cheese, and broil until golden and bubbly (about 5-10 min).

Notes:
• Add cooked bacon, jalapeños, or breadcrumbs if you want to level it up.
• Adjust seasoning to taste – this is your base flavor bomb.

I would personally cut back on the mustard powder.

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.

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!
