Student cookbook: Marmite spaghetti

An unlikely recipe from Italian cookery writer Anna del Conte, spiced up with a squirt of ketchup. Much nicer than it sounds. Serves: 1-2 Cooking time: 15 mins 175g spaghetti 25g unsalted butter 1/2 tsp Marmite Salt, pepper and a squirt of tomato ketchup Freshly grated parmesan Cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water following the instructions on the pack. Meanwhile heat the butter in a small saucepan with the Marmite and a spoonful of the pasta cooking water. When the spaghetti is ready, drain it and pour the melted Marmite butter mixture on top. Season with plenty of black pepper and a squeeze of ketchup then sprinkle with plenty of freshly grated parmesan.
