Ingredients
- 300g spaghetti
- 40g butter
- 2 tbsp Marmite
- 80g cheddar cheese, grated
- Black pepper, to taste
Method
- Cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions, then drain, reserving a mugful of the cooking water.
- 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.
- Add most of the cheese and toss again until melted through.
- Divide between bowls, scatter over the remaining cheese, and finish with a good grind of black pepper.
