      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.

    Oh my the best Mac ever, and best one that I've ever made. I fried spring onions and bacon. Baked in the oven for 20 and will brown off the top and sprinkle cheese on top. Delicious and I know my fam will inhale it. 😋... definitely a saved favourite now.

    Submitted by redcrystal on 22. November 2021 - 11:40.

    This was so good and so simple! I can't believe there isn't a recent comment.

    I looked at the cookidoo recipes and they were all fiddly, I just wanted a basic recipe I could add ham to (which I did at the very end when mixing the sauce and pasta together).

    I was so suprised at how good that sauce is, I kind of expected it to be doughy/floury because I've only ever made white sauce by hand where you melt the butter, cook off the flour etc, but it is fantastic!
    10/10!
