I am a huge huge fan. Have practically all her books and I re-read them pretty often. One of my favourite recipes would be the Spaghetti with Marmite, except I use Bovril (which pretty much tastes the same to me).
Its so simple yet heartwarming and brings me back to my childhood ( still love meat porridge with bovril and pepper).
Ingredients:
- 375g dried spaghetti
- 50g unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Marmite or more, to taste
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese to serve
- Cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water, according to the packet instructions.
- When the pasta is almost cooked, melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the Marmite and 1 tablespoon of the pasta water, mixing thoroughly to dissolve. Reserve 1/2 a cup of pasta water; then drain the pasta and pour the Marmite/Vegemite mixture over the drained spaghetti, adding a little reserved pasta water to amalgamate if required. Serve with plenty of grated Parmesan cheese.
- For vegetarians replace the Parmesan cheese with a vegetarian alternative.
