Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Add 1000 g water to the Thermomix bowl. Heat 10 min / 100°C / Speed 1.
  2. Place the fresh tomatoes (approx. 900 g) in the simmering basket. Carefully lower the simmering basket into the hot water in the bowl. Cook 2-3 min / 100°C / Speed 1 to blanch.
  3. Remove the simmering basket. Drain the tomatoes and immediately plunge them into a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process. Once cool enough to handle, peel the skin off the tomatoes and cut them into small pieces. Set aside. Empty and dry the Thermomix bowl.
  4. Add 25 g Parmesan cheese to the clean, dry bowl. Grate 10 sec / Speed 9. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
  5. Add 15 g olive oil and 4 cloves garlic to the Thermomix bowl. Chop 3 sec / Speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with the spatula.
  6. Sauté the garlic 5 min / 120°C / Speed 1.
  7. Add 15 g tomato paste, the peeled and chopped tomatoes, salt to taste, and ground black pepper to taste to the bowl.
  8. Cook the sauce 15 min / 95°C / Speed 2 (Reverse). Remove the measuring cup and place the simmering basket on the lid to prevent splatter while allowing steam to escape.
  9. Pause the Thermomix, scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with the spatula. Check the consistency and adjust seasoning if needed.
  10. Continue cooking 5 min / 95°C / Speed 2 (Reverse).
  11. While the sauce is simmering, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook 225 g angel hair pasta according to package directions, typically 4-5 minutes, until al dente. Drain well.
  12. Add 5 g chopped fresh basil to the sauce in the Thermomix bowl. Mix 30 sec / 90°C / Speed 1 (Reverse) to combine.
  13. Combine the drained pasta with the sauce in a large serving bowl. Toss gently to coat.
  14. Serve immediately, garnished generously with the grated Parmesan cheese.
