Nigella Lawson and The missing Vegemite Pasta

I am not sure about the rest of the country, but “Sunday Night” promised us Nigella Lawson would show us her Vegemite pasta recipe. Sadly, in NSW we had blank airtime and went straight into Border Security. So for those who want it – here is the recipe.

Nigella Lawson’s Vegemite Spaghetti

•375g dried spaghetti
•50g butter
•4 teaspoons Vegemite
•Parmesan cheese to serve
————————–
-Cook spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water, according to packet instructions.
-When pasta is almost cooked, melt butter in a small saucepan and add Vegemite + 1 tablespoon of the pasta water, mixing thoroughly to dissolve.
-Reserve 1/2 a cup of pasta water; then drain pasta and pour Vegemite mixture over the drained spaghetti, adding reserved pasta water
-Serve with Parmesan cheese on top.
