Marmite & pancetta spaghetti

Making this later, can't wait! X

I Made a few changes with this recipe, I used just normal bacon and cooked it off with an onion, chilli flakes and a dash of Worcestershire sauce, I also added half a broccolli to the spaghetti for a bit of crunch! It definitely went down well with the Husband think I'll be adding more marmite next time as I didn't really taste it but still very tasty anyway.

Could not believe how good this recipe was. Wish I’d tried it ages ago.. I halved (almost) the recipe as there was only 2 of us. Next time I’ll increase the pancetta and the marmite. A really great recipe for a quick tasty meal. I can see me doing this often, and maybe try adding some mushrooms for a change.

I made this without the pancetta as I don't like it (I don't like bacon either) and it was delicious, for me I put less marmite in it too, only one teaspoon, it was enough. This is something I would cook for myself when I am too tired to bother doing a proper full on cooking session. It's so simple and so delicious.

What a surprise! My better half wasn't sure if that will be good, but soon we changed our minds and gobled it all. I didn't use any butter as pancetta gave enough fat. It was fantastic. And two teaspoons of marmite isn't too much as I feared. Tasty supper in no time with so little to do. Will be making it again and again.

This is lovely but I would say that because I could eat marmite with a teaspoon straight from the jar. I prefer using bacon as find pancetta more fat than anything

We've made this meal twice and have already agreed it will become a staple "easy meal' for us to make when we're tired or lacking in inspiration. It's also strangely addictive and my partner and I have often admitted to craving this! Only half the amount of butter is needed for this dish and we'd recommend serving with a side salad to cut through the buttery marmite goodness. The first time we made it with pancetta which was delicious - however re-heated the next day the pancetta does go very hard and gristly. The second time we made it with parma ham and this was equally delicious. Thanks for posting this - it's now part of our repertoire!

I am sure there are Pasta Purists out there who would hold their hands up in horror , spaghetti and marmite is hardly traditional. However. Spotted this recipe and showed it to my marmite loving hubby, who insisted we give it a go. I made it and he has not stopped going on about it since. We have eaten it twice in less than a week. I added some mushrooms to it as had some left over, and used smoked streaky bacon. I may add some crumbled black pudding the next time. I am not as mad about marmite as the other half, but I must say this is really , unexpectedly tasty .
