Ingredients

2 eschalots (Small; halved. Substitute 1 small onion.)
2 garlic cloves
1 tsp fresh basil (Substitute 1 tsp dried basil.)
200 g cherry tomatoes (Halved.)
100 g passata
320 g spiral pasta
250 g cream
600 g water
1 tbsp vegetable stock paste
1 large tsp mixed herbs
0.5 tsp salt
black pepper (To taste.)

Steps

1
Place the halved eschalots, garlic cloves, and fresh basil into the Thermomix bowl. Chop for 3 seconds on Speed 5, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
2
Add the cherry tomatoes, passata, spiral pasta, cream, water, vegetable stock paste, mixed herbs, salt, and black pepper to the Thermomix bowl.
3
Place the lid on the Thermomix and cook for 15 minutes at 100°C on Speed Stir.
4
Allow the pasta to rest for 2–3 minutes before serving. The sauce will thicken as it sits and should coat the pasta.

Notes

For extra richness, add a knob of butter or grated cheese at the end. Spinach or steamed vegetables can be stirred through just before serving. The source does not specify the amount of butter, cheese, spinach, or vegetables.
