Has anyone cooked fresh homemade pasta in the TMX?

I haven't, but I'd cook it in the basket if I were you as it would be likely to break up otherwise.
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.

I have cooked HM pasta in the bowl as per usual without any real problems - just need to get the water realy hot (either boil and add or do the 14 mins or whatever Varoma) and then put in reverse and soft  ^^ or 1 and only for about 2 mins and it's done.

If only small amounts then the basket would be a good alternative - but make sure there's plenty of water and probably speed 3.

Yes I cook my HM pasta in the TMX also and it is fine.  Lot's of boiling water, reverse/soft speed and only a couple of minutes as Thermomixer said.  :)
