Spaghetti with Marmite
Recipe by Nigella Lawson
I came across this recipe in Anna Del Conte’s memoirs, Risotto with Nettles. I haven’t as yet found a child who doesn’t like it. Demonstrated at the 2011 Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.
Serves 4 to 6
Ingredients
- 375g dried spaghetti
- 50g unsalted butter
- 1 tsp Marmite or more, to taste
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese, to serve
Method
- Cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water, according to the packet instructions.
- When the pasta is almost cooked, melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the Marmite and 1 tablespoon of the pasta water, mixing thoroughly to dissolve.
- Reserve a cup of pasta water; then drain the pasta and pour the Marmite mixture over the drained spaghetti, adding a little reserved pasta water to amalgamate if required.
- Serve with plenty of grated parmesan cheese.
