If I doubled this recipe would it be too big a quantity for the TM, DH eats like a horse and I don't think this would be enough!

Think maybe 50% increase would be the limit.  The pasta will swell.

Thanks for that thermomixer.  I have tried increasing the recipe by 1/3 but it ended up ok but a bit thick so I need to try again I feel.  :)

Another one for me to try. :-*

Made this for lunch today, super yummy. And super easy!
I didn't have cream or evaporated milk, so just used normal milk + water + 2tspn cornflour + small knob of butter and the result was very creamy and didn't look or taste low fat.  I threw in a half chopped zucchini but mushrooms would have been nicer and I added a heap of black pepper too as I love that so much.
Thanks for the recipe.

This is an amazing recipe. DD had seconds which is pretty rare.

I licked the spoon (I'm trying to swear off carbs) and it was all I could do to stop myself eating more!

Quick and easy - it'll be a regular.

Thank you!!

Kids loved it! 4 kids and 4 empty bowls which is rare in our house! Only change I made was add some zuccini and some chicken stock for a bit more flavour. Yum!

Rainbow, I put this recipe on the Forum Community - crediting your name, of course. It's incredibly popular! People have done various tweaks and additions and it's always a winner. Well done! ;D
A great cook is one who can rustle up a fabulous family meal with some freezer burnt chops, wilted carrots, sprouting potatoes and cabbage that's gone brown on the cut edges.

Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful recipe. I too made it with evap milk, water and cornflour as suggested in earlier post and it was fantastic. Added mushrooms, any chance to sneak in vegies, and DS3 & DS5 gave it a triple thumbs up! Not sure where the extra thumb came from! Thanks again.

Hi I have read through this and would love to cook this tonight. I will be feeding four. I see the comment that you increase by 50% does that mean all the ingredients do you think or just the pasta?
