      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.

Recipe's preparation

  1. place cheese in thermomix and mill 5-10 seconds sp8. Remove and set aside.
  2. place shallots and garlic in bowl then 3 seconds sp5. Scrape down and repeat if required.
  3. Add bacon and cook for 10 minutes varoma [Counter-clockwise operation]sp1.
  4. Add water and stock, then pasta. Cook for 10 minutes 100 degrees sp 1[Counter-clockwise operation]. (While cooking reboil the kettle and fill your thermoserver to preheat it.)
  5. Pour water out of thermoserver then add pasta to it.

    Quickly whisk eggs and add to hot pasta with Parmesan. Mix around quickly which cooks your eggs without scrambling them.
  6. Disclaimer: This is a mash up of 4 different recipes from thermomix and other sources, trying to find a one pot wonder with all the flavour of the original. the eggs are cooked gently by the residual heat of the pasta, there are no raw eggs in this dish. If pregnant and concerned about undercooked eggs, just leave them out but they do add protein and a texture that is unique to carbonara!

    Brookie82:the water and stock get added with the pasta and cooked for 10 minutes before checking pasta and adding cream. After bacon is cooked with onion and garlic for 10 minutes. Sorry I'll try to edit recipe it's been a minute.

    I agree with the last comment. The recipe is unclear about where to add the water and pasta initially.. I ended up cooking the pasta on the stovetop which kinda defeated the purpose, but it tasted great!

    Sorry to ask a silly question... Does the water get added in with the bacon, garlic and onion? Then the cream gets added the water, garlic, onion, bacon mixture... and cook for further 3-5 mins all together? Thermo Newbie and just want to make sure I am reading it correctly. Sounds delicious!

    More mushrooms and add later. Reverse 0.5 probably better. Used mixture of shells and spaghetti. Needed the extra cook time. Used 100ml tub of really thick cream with 150ml of milk. Perfect. Used 2 chicken stock cubes in 900 boiling water and could perhaps has used 1000ml as was very thick. Delicious

    Halved it, delicious!
    Used stock paste, and pretty much just halved everything and reduced cooking by 20%ish. Used spaghetti and pancetta instead of bacon, coz that's what I had.
    Thank you, for a great recipe!

    I really loved this quick and easy and very creamy. The only thing is the stock is a lil to salty for me will do 1 tablespoon next time. I also just mixed the eggs in the thermomix for a minute on speed 1 just letting the heat cool down on its own.

    Wow! We were all impressed! Restaurant quality dish here. Saved for when we have guests for sure.



    I added two portobello mushrooms and 500g cooked chicken breast (cubed) .
    I also used one challot and 1 brown onion rather than 4 challots as that is what i had.
    I cooked bacon, onion and mushroom in a pan before adding to TM. Then i followed recipe and while it was cooking i cubed the chicken breast in a pan and added once it was finished.

    I substituted the shallots for brown onion and I fried the bacon and mushrooms in the pan so it got crispy and added it to the sautéed onion and garlic.

    New family favourite of ours. We altered by reducing the chicken stock to 1.5 tbsp and added approximately 500g chicken when adding the bacon. Cooked perfectly

    Thank you for a great recipe. I won't bother buying packet mixes again. I didn't have shallots or garlic cloves so just added onion powder and garlic powder instead. I've only had my thermo for a month so am experimenting with everything. Thanks again for posting this recipe.

    This is incorrect as does not have a step to cook garlic shallots or bacon.
