Thermomix recipe: Creamy Tomato Pasta. Ready in 30 minutes. Serves 2. Step-by-step Thermomix instructions on Chef Amai.

Ingredients

• 50 g onion, quartered
• 1 clove garlic
• 20 g olive oil
• 30 g tomato paste
• 200 g canned chopped tomatoes
• 300 g vegetable stock
• 120 g dried pasta (e.g., penne, fusilli)
• 50 g cooking cream
• 20 g Parmesan cheese, grated (plus extra for serving)
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

1. Add onion and garlic to the mixing bowl. Chop 3 sec / Speed 5.
2. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl with the spatula. Add olive oil. Sauté 3 min / 120°C / Speed 1.
3. Add tomato paste to the mixing bowl. Cook 2 min / 100°C / Speed 1.
4. Add chopped tomatoes, vegetable stock, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to the mixing bowl. Place the simmering basket on the mixing bowl lid instead of the measuring cup to prevent splatter and allow for evaporation. Cook 5 min / 98°C / Speed 2 (Reverse).
5. Add the dried pasta through the lid opening. Cook according to package instructions (typically 8-12 minutes) / 98°C / Speed 2 (Reverse). For longer cooking times, pause halfway through to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
6. Once pasta is cooked al dente, add cooking cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Cook 1 min / 90°C / Speed 2 (Reverse).
7. Check seasoning and adjust if necessary. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil and extra Parmesan cheese.
