Marmite Spaghetti Recipe
Use your favourite pasta (such as linguine or angel hair) in place of spaghetti. The basic marmite spaghetti tastes great on its own, but you can also add ingredients such as mushrooms to make it a more sumptuous meal.
Ingredients:
- 2 servings (roughly 160g) spaghetti or other pasta noodles such as linguine or angel hair
- 25 grams unsalted butter
- 2 tsp Marmite to taste
- 1 tsp sea salt
- reserved pasta water
Serving Suggestion
- freshly grated parmesan cheese
- freshly chopped parsley
Directions:
- Cook Pasta. Cook spaghetti in a pot of boiling water with 1 tsp salt added until al dente (usually minus 2 minutes off recommended time in packaging instructions for spaghetti).
- Make Marmite Sauce. While the pasta is cooking, make the marmite sauce. Melt butter in a small saucepan and add Marmite while the butter is still hot, stirring with spatula to dissolve it completely.
- Serve. When the pasta is cooked, drain and add them to the Marmite sauce to toss, adding 1-2 tbsp pasta water to bind everything together. Optional: Serve with grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

It tastes great that my children asked me to make it again next time. Thanks!
I LOVE Marmite to death …and have almost never lived without it in the refrigerator. This recipe is just brilliant!!
I’ve been really curious to try Marmite but it’s kind expensive here so I don’t want to buy a whole jar and then hate it hehe.
I think it’s sold in mini bottle ;)
I made this yesterday and my hubby said to his surprise, its actually tasty (he was skeptical at first).
I notice that after we have finished the pasta, there is butter remaining on my bowls and plates. Is is normal? Is it because I did not mix thoroughly or I put too much butter? (I used 200g instead of 375g of pasta. As for the sauce, I used the same quantity as what you listed above).
maybe too much pasta water, resulting in residual sauce? the sauce is supposed to cling onto the noodles. But you can experiment with the quantity to suit your liking ;)
I have never ever tried this..I was always told how awful it was a million years ago. If I find a tiny winny bottle, I will give it a change.
hehe try it out for yourself and decide if you love or hate it ;)
hi, do you think this can within through the whole morning? Or will the taste go bad easily? Thought of making this for my man’s lunchbox at work.
Hi sorry I have not tried keeping the pasta for hours. perhaps you can pack the pasta and sauce separately and warm the sauce before tossing with the noodles
Thank you for this recipe. The marmite with butter creates an interesting cocao taste and the dish goes well with some tomato tuna added in. Will be making it again. Thanks loads.
