Ok I know, this is kinda lame cos there's simply no recipe in this recipe :p
I saw this recipe on Nigella Lawson's but her version used Marmite, the very English version of a savoury yeast extract spread. Since I have a bottle of CheesyBite (a spinoff by Down Under brand Vegemite that contains cream cheese), I decided to use that instead. In Kuala Lumpur, you should be able to find Vegemite and Cheesy Bite at Cold Storage, Village Grocer or Jaya Grocer.
Just cook spaghetti until al dente, drain (reserve some of the water) and toss in some CheesyBite and a little of the reserved water. Since CheesyBite is not as salty as Vegemite alone, don't be surprised that you might need quite a number of teaspoons. Adjust the saltiness by adding a little by little of the CheesyBite and taste as you go along. Finish off with some grated parmesan. Yummy, Yummy, Yummy, I got love in my tummy!
Erm when it comes to Marmite/Vegemite, it's either you hate it or love it!!! So tell me whether you love or hate it???
Oh and I just realised this is good for a meatless Monday!
Ooooh! That's a good idea! I can imagine the umaminess already. :D
ReplyDeleteYum, have so many fond memories of Marmite as a kid. Never once had it with pasta or noodles though!
ReplyDeletei used to hate marmite when i was younger, cos my grandfather would sometimes pressure me to eat it, since he loved it. now i kinda like it, which is a bit bittersweet, since my grandfather's no longer around =)
ReplyDeleteTo me, I loved it! I have a big jar of vegemite so would love to try this out one day!
ReplyDeleteHahaha yes Kelly, it is indeed
ReplyDeleteMe too Drops of Contentment, not until I read it in Nigella's book
Sean, yeah my mother would fed us plain congee with just marmite or sometimes just mix with hot water with a little drizzle of garlic oil as soup!
