Tip

If using homemade gnocchi it may be easier to steam the gnocchi using the varoma, only vary the temp to be set at varoma. 

I used store bought gnocchi for this recipe. 

If you are wanting more, or feeding hungry people, just double the amount of gnocchi and add an extra can of crushed tomatoes! 

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 5 image
    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.
    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!

    Such a simple dish & a delicious, sweet & savoury outcome! Smile I am using the TM6 thermomix.


    I substituted sour cream to greek yoghurt & used chicken stock instead. I skipped the salt as I think my chicken stock has enough sodium. My first time using canned tomatoes as well.

    Will definitely make this dish again on a rainy day for comfort foods.

    Delicious!
    Next time I will skip adding a pinch of salt as I think the vegetable stock was salty enough.

    This was really yummy! Thank you for the recipe. It was a little salty (I think from the EDC Veggie stock), next time I will add half a tablespoon.
