This creamy pea pasta is a comforting vegetarian main course cooked entirely in the Thermomix TM7.

One bowl handles everything, giving you a family-friendly dinner with minimal washing up.
About this recipe
Creamy pea pasta Thermomix TM7 is the kind of quick weeknight dinner that turns five humble ingredients into a proper comfort meal. Sweet green peas are simmered with cream, milk and a vegetable stock cube, then blended with generous handfuls of freshly grated Emmental until the sauce turns silky and golden. Searching for pasta recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine usually means long ingredient lists, but here the TM7 does the hard work: it grates the cheese in seconds, chops the onions and garlic without tears, and heats the sauce gently so the dairy never splits. This is a main course that suits beginners, fussy children and tired parents alike, ready in one bowl with minimal washing up. Serve it straight from the mixing bowl with extra Emmental on top, and you have a cosy family dinner that tastes far more indulgent than the effort it takes.
Preparation tips
- Reserve a few tablespoons of the grated Emmental before starting the sauce, so you can scatter it over the finished pea pasta just before serving for extra flavour and a lovely melted finish.
- Cut the onions into rough quarters before they go into the mixing bowl; the blades will handle the rest, and evenly sized pieces guarantee an evenly chopped base for your sauce without watery patches.
- If the sauce coats the spoon too thickly after cooking, loosen it with a splash of the pasta water; the starch helps the cream and milk bind to the pasta beautifully and keeps everything silky.
Recipe variations
- For a lactose-free version, replace the cream and milk with oat-based cooking cream and use a mature lactose-free cheese instead of Emmental; the pea sauce stays just as velvety and the vegetable stock cube keeps the savoury depth.
- For a spring variation, add fresh mint leaves and a squeeze of lemon at the end, or stir in crispy bacon for a festive twist; both pair wonderfully with the sweet peas and melted Emmental in this pasta.
