Ingredients

  • 300g spaghetti
  • 40g butter
  • 2 tbsp Marmite
  • 80g cheddar cheese, grated
  • Black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions, then drain, reserving a mugful of the cooking water.
  2. Return the pasta to the pan over low heat and add the butter and Marmite. Toss well until the butter has melted and coats the spaghetti evenly, loosening with a splash of the reserved water if needed.
  3. Add most of the cheese and toss again until melted through.
  4. Divide between bowls, scatter over the remaining cheese, and finish with a good grind of black pepper.
