      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.

    cooked this tonight. if i cooked it again i would use half the chicken and half the pasta. I found the sauce too thin and not enough depth of flavour so would probably add more fresh herbs and tomato paste and cook it for longer.

    Kids loved this. I used GF pasta and added extra veges. The chicken was moist and there was enough for leftovers the next day.

    Reallyveasy and made a huge amount which is perfect for 5 hungry mouths! Leftovers are normally rare! I only added 320g of pasta and chucked a broken up pre-roasted chook over that then spinach leaves and then the veggie mix (pumpkin, carrot and celery). Thanks!

    Easy to prepare. would definitely add some extra flavour. We added carrots and zucchini but it needed something else, perhaps some chilli And herbs. Will make again but with flavour modifications
