Method

  • step 1

    Bring a large pan of water to the boil and add the spaghetti. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the pancetta for 8-10 mins until crispy.

  • step 2

    Once the pasta is cooked, drain, reserving a little pasta water. Tip the spaghetti back into the pan with the pasta water and add the pancetta with the fat from the pan, the butter, Marmite and cheeses. Use tongs to coat the spaghetti in the sauce and season with a little pepper. Taste and add a little more Marmite, if you like. Serve in bowls with extra parmesan sprinkled over.

So delicious and savoury. The pancetta adds a nice saltiness and the Marmite mellows a bit as it cooks, it's a real treat. I think I might love this more than carbonara.

This is a very oily dish. It contains olive oil, oil from frying the pancetta and butter. You are left with a puddle of oil on your plate when you have finished the spaghetti.

I love marmite and butter pasta, I first saw the idea in a Nigella Lawson book but she does not include the meat, I tried it and loved it. It is so savoury and delicious it does not need the pancetta, this is a go to of mine when I can't be bothered to "cook" properly, quick, easy and delicious.
