Nigella - spaghetti with Marmite ?!?! Have you tried it?

[stillbobbysgirl]

Well, after seeing this on Nigella t'other night, was wondering if it is one of her foul or one or her fab ideas?

She has done some revolting things in the past - chritmas pudding truffles spring to mind - but is this nice?

I used to eat spaghetti with marmite when I was an impoverished student. Delicious! Hope she's not passing it off as her idea

We had it yesterday with DD and quite liked it! I do love marmite though.

I saw this and I am tempted to give it to the kids - nice & easy dinner!

It sounds repulsive. What does it involve?

Oh, it's lovely! Just melt a bit of butter and a bit of marmite, and stir it into spaghetti. It essentially acts like beef stock. We put peas and sweetcorn in with it and cheese on top.

I think it's much the same as butter & marmite sandwiches, doesn't sound so weird to me. But haven't tried it yet, will do so soon. Although I'm not English, I like marmite.

Oh my sounds fab, i love marmite.

Unbelievably nice- even dh liked it and he isn't keen on marmite. Dd didn't tho...

I like spaghetti and marmite but I'm having a job thinking of them together.

Mind you I said that about the coca cola ham and we love that.

Nigella does seem to be coming out with some odd things in this series though. That pizza she did the other day looked horrible.

What else is in this? Sorry haven't watched this programme yet.

DD1 is eating it now with cheese on top. Tasted some and is v nice. Would have it as quick dinner.

Ugh. I had a quick look through the book in Waterstones today and wasn't at all taken by it.

Has anybody noticed, too, how many meals she suggests which don't actually involve any vegetables?

I've been making this for nigh on twenty years. Is gorgeous and a very nice, quick comfort dinner.

I hate marmite and won't be making this but just wanted to add that this is not one of her own recipes...it's from Anna Del Conte, another food writer.

I don't think I will be trying it as I don't like Marmite. That said, a spoonful of Marmite in porridge is great.
