Creamy Broccoli and Leek One-Pot Pasta
Thermomix recipe: Creamy Broccoli and Leek One-Pot Pasta. Ready in 40 minutes. Serves 4. Step-by-step Thermomix instructions on Chef Amai.
Ingredients
- 1 small onion (approx. 80 g), peeled
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 large leek (approx. 200 g), white and light green parts, thoroughly washed
- 20 g olive oil
- 350 g short pasta (e.g., penne, fusilli)
- 350 g broccoli, cut into small florets
- 750 ml vegetable broth
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp chili flakes (optional)
- 200 ml soy cooking cream
Instructions
- Add onion and garlic to the mixing bowl. Chop 3 sec / Speed 5. Scrape down sides of bowl.
- Add leek (cut into 2-3 cm pieces) and olive oil to the mixing bowl. Sauté 5 min / 120°C / Speed 1. For chunky leek, use Reverse mode.
- Add pasta, broccoli florets, vegetable broth, salt, pepper, and chili flakes (if using) to the mixing bowl. Ensure pasta is mostly submerged.
- Place the simmering basket on the lid instead of the measuring cup to allow steam to escape and prevent splattering. Cook for 12-15 min (or according to pasta package instructions + 2 minutes) / 100°C / Speed 1 / Reverse. Cooking time may vary depending on pasta type and desired doneness.
- After 7 minutes of cooking, pause the Thermomix. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing bowl with the spatula to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking. Check the liquid level and pasta consistency; add a splash more broth if it looks too dry. Resume cooking.
- Once pasta is al dente, add the soy cooking cream to the mixing bowl. Cook for an additional 2 min / 90°C / Speed 1 / Reverse to heat through and create a creamy sauce. Remove simmering basket and replace with measuring cup for this step.
- Serve immediately. The sauce will thicken further upon standing. Enjoy!
