Creamy Chicken Bacon Pasta

400g spaghetti 
Cook in Saucepan or Thermomix - see EDC or End of this recipe for instructions.

5 Rashes of Bacon cut into small pieces
1 chicken breast cut into small pieces
Fry in saucepan (I do this because i still like it crispy and golden otherwise you can add below when you saute your garlic)

Sauce
1 clove of garlic
1 Tbsp oil
300 ml cream
3 Tbsp plain flour
2 tsp stock concentrate
150g water
2 Tbsp TM Mayonnaise
50g white wine (optional)

Crush garlic on Speed 7 for 3 seconds
Scrape down sides of bowl
Add oil and saute on 100 degrees - Speed 1 for 3 minutes
Add remaining ingredients and cook at 100 degrees - Speed 3 for 7 minutes (add 3-5 extra minutes if you're cooking your chicken in this mixture)

Combine together in large serving bowl and top with grated cheese and black pepper if you wish.

Tomato Paste Concentrate

I got an amazing deal of a box of tomatoes - 10kgs so I was wondering what I could cook up......thought i'd try tomato paste.......here's the recipe:


1kg tomatoes 
15g sugar
1 Tbsp olive oil

Wash and cut tomatoes in halves, put in bowl and chop on Speed 9 for 15 seconds (go up slowly)
Add sugar and oil and cook for 40 minutes on Varoma on Speed 2
Scrape down sides and puree finer on Speed 5 for 5 seconds.

This didn't make a great deal of tomato paste I must say - I am shocked at how much it reduced to but I think it will taste great - tonight we'll find out, it's going on our pizza's and my husband is the pizza guru - so i'll let you all know what the outcome is.

TUESDAY TESTIMONIALS.........ON A WEDNESDAY...MMMM.....WHOOPS!

TESTIMONIAL NUMBER 5

A happy customer of mine shares her thoughts on the Thermomix!  

Well I was your very first demo hostess.!!

The night was a great success with everyone being amazed at just what the TM could do.

 We are just a family of 2 but it is often 4 people and I have found the thermomix to be really helpful. Like everyone else I guess have had my failures but after ringing Sarah and with her help have managed to work out why.

 I just love making risotto and just last week made aracine balls with the leftovers. They were yummy.
I find the more I use the TM the less I have to refer to the book to see speeds and temperatures etc. The scones are the best I've ever made (and I'd thought I was pretty good before) and if I haven't got buttermilk I just put a dash of vinegar or lemon juice in the milk .

I am 78years old and have just loved experimenting and going on line to the website forum with anything unusual I want to have a go at making.

Once again being able to ring Sarah with any queries I may have has been wonderful .I am sure you won't regret buying a thermomix
