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
Remember the sauce makes 4 portions so you can freeze the extra 3 serves or if making the bake using frozen sauce, then allow to defrost and stir through as if fresh portion.
The meatballs are also delicious cold, i often make double batch and have them in freezer for making this dish even quicker or great for lunches or snacks.
This freezes well.
Serves 4 generous portions.

I only made the meatballs from this recipe and...
I only made the meatballs from this recipe and paired with them with homemade Peri Peri chips and veggies. I'd never cooked them in the oven before i foudn it a lot easier to hold them together rather than cooking them in the fry pan. Were a little dry (not sure if due to the oven) but went great with some sweet chilli sauce

Yum, really tasty i changed
Yum, really tasty i changed it a bit, as i didnt have these dip mixes. So i used the skinnymixer italian mix in the meatballs and tomato sauce. The white sauce here wasn't thickening up and was boiling out of the lid, so i added 2 more Tablespoons of flour and cooked for another 5 mins 90 degrees speed 3. The tomato sauce i wanted to halve, but it turn out very thick, so i added a bit more passata and some hot water and blended up to thin out a bit. i used lamb mince, with 10g balsamic vinegar and 5g of honey. really nice and the kids really enjoyed it, thank you
