Here's the truth: I never had Marmite. Not until this afternoon. People say and even its adverts say it's a 'love it' or 'hate it' kinda thing. And I don't like not liking things.
This recipe is featured in Nigella Lawson's new book "Kitchen" and there are so many recipes I want to try and I'll start here, I guess. Are you sensing a new Nigella project?! Well, maybe...
There are only four ingredients in this dish, spaghetti, butter, marmite and parmesan cheese; and a little bit of the pasta cooking water to loosen the sauce.
And my verdict on Spaghetti with Marmite: it's delicious. I'm not sure how to describe the taste of marmite. It's salty, savoury, like beef stock cube or concentrated gravy. I think it's still too early for me to join 'I love Marmite fan club' but I certainly do not hate it.
Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteYes. do a Nigella project! I heard of marmite and heard the same exact thing that it's a love it or hate it thing. Sure is simple to make though!
ReplyDeleteI think in Australia they have their own version of Marmite. The 'vegemite'. For me it tastes like soy sauce. o',)
ReplyDeleteI have never tried marmite, but it sounds quite interesting...Yes a new project :)
ReplyDeleteI have seen maramite in our local grocer but have never tried it....It does sound interesting!
ReplyDeletehmmm, I wonder if it works as well with vegemite? Will have a go and see.
ReplyDeleteHi Angela. I heard of vegemite before but I don't know if it's the same thing. Do let me know when you tried it.
