Marmite Pasta Recipe

I love Nigella's marmite spaghetti and it's one of Termites favourites too but all that butter doesn't bode well for my Syn count.  So I've tweaked it a bit to make it syn free.

• 400g pasta
• 4 laughing cow light
• 1 dollop of marmite (I like lots you may prefer less)
• Salt and pepper

• Cook your pasta, about 5 minutes before its finished start your sauce...
• Place marmite, laughing cow and 100 mls of the pasta water (I use half a ladle)  in a saucepan and stir together while the cheese melts

 

• Set aside a cup of the pasta water
• Drain pasta and place into the pan with the marmite mix
• Stir well
• Add more pasta water if it seems sticky (I don't need to normally, these measurements work perfectly) 
• Serve immediately
