Utensils

  • Step 1

    Add all of the ingredients in the order listed to the 2.1L jug and secure the lid. Secure the jug into the unit. Select the ‘iQ/MANUAL’ function then turn the dial to ’10’. Press dial to start the program. Blend until smooth, you may want to blend another 2 or 3 times, scraping down the sides between blends, to ensure an even blend. Your pasta sauce is now ready to store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the refrigerator. For cooking instructions see below.

  • Step 2

    Cook your pasta as per the manufacturer’s instructions. When a couple of minutes remain on your pasta remove 125ml cooking water and add to sauce. Blend again on LOW until smooth and combined. Repeat the blending process if necessary.

  • Step 3

    Drain the pasta and reserve another 250ml of water. Add the sauce and water to the pan, stir to combine.

  • Step 4

    Add the pasta and cook for a further 2 minutes. Serve immediately with toppings of choice. A drizzle of white truffle oil and a finely grated Italian hard cheese (or vegan equivalent) is best.
