I live in a household of marmite haters. I like it, in my opinion you can’t beat marmite on white toast with butter. I saw this recipe and decided to try it myself and made a portion for one, rather than impose it on the whole family.
Ingredients:
- 375 grams spaghetti
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon 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 ½ cup of pasta water; then drain the pasta and pour the Marmite/Vegemite mixture over the drained spaghetti, adding a little reserved pasta water to amalgamate if required. Serve with plenty of grated Parmesan cheese.
I substituted some tube pasta for the spaghetti – I had 100g in a bag and I hate mixing my pasta shapes. I have also run out of parmesan, so strong cheddar had to do. It was nice, didn’t blow my mind though. It would have been better with parmesan I think. I might try it on the kids but they will have to be in the other room when I cook it – they will spot the marmite!
