Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 g Spaghetti
- 50 g Unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp Vegemite
- 100 ml Heavy cream
- 1 clove Garlic clove (minced)
- 50 g Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
Instructions
Fill a large pot with water, add 1 teaspoon of salt, and bring it to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain, reserving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the butter to the pan and let it melt completely. Then, stir in 1 tablespoon of Vegemite until it dissolves into the butter mixture.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking to combine with the butter and Vegemite. Simmer the sauce for 2-3 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat it in the Vegemite sauce. If the sauce is too thick, incorporate a bit of the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and toss again. Season with black pepper to taste.
Plate the pasta and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately while warm.
