About this recipe
Gluten-free tagliatelle with veggie ragout on the Thermomix TM7 proves that fresh homemade pasta belongs in every kitchen, even without wheat. Buckwheat flour gives the tagliatelle a nutty character and a lovely bite, while the all-in-one kitchen machine kneads the dough into a smooth, pliable ball that rolls out beautifully thin. The ragout itself is a colourful medley of onion, celery, carrots and courgette, gently sautéed and simmered until the vegetables melt into a rich, savoury sauce. Searching for gluten-free pasta recipes that taste like an Italian trattoria made them? This one delivers. It is an ideal quick weeknight dinner for families avoiding gluten, and the TM7 chops, kneads and stirs each step so you only supervise. Serve it with a drizzle of olive oil and a shower of grated cheese for a vegetarian main course everyone will request again.
Preparation tips
- Let the buckwheat tagliatelle dough rest wrapped in cling film before rolling, as buckwheat flour has no gluten to relax and resting improves flexibility for cutting neat ribbons.
- Dice the celery, carrot and courgette into equal pieces so the ragout cooks uniformly; uneven chunks release water at different rates and make the sauce watery instead of rich.
- For a firmer pasta bite, salt the cooking water generously rather than the dough, and toss the drained tagliatelle immediately through the hot ragout so the ribbons absorb the flavours.
Recipe variations
- Vegan version: replace any cheese finishing with nutritional yeast and use olive oil only; the buckwheat tagliatelle and vegetable ragout of carrot, celery and courgette are already plant-based.
- Autumn variation: swap the courgette for pumpkin cubes and add a sprig of rosemary to the ragout, giving the buckwheat tagliatelle a seasonal, earthy sweetness perfect for colder evenings.
