One Pot Spaghetti Caprese (traditional method & Thermomix)
Description
One Pot Spaghetti Caprese is the perfect example of simple, effective cooking: the pasta, sauce and toppings all cook together in a single pan. The starch released by the spaghetti mixes with the other ingredients to create a creamy, fragrant sauce, all in a minimum of time... and with very little washing up to do! Tip: For a more intense flavour, add a few fresh basil leaves just before serving.
