Steps:
- Pop your spaghetti in salted boiling water and cook until al dente. Scoop out a cup of starchy pasta water JUST before draining.
- Meanwhile fry the mushrooms in a little olive oil over medium heat until they begin to brown. Add garlic and a pinch of salt & pepper, then fry for another 1-2mins until the garlic just begins to pick up colour.
- Melt in 2 heaped tbsp butter, then pour in 1/3 cup / 80ml of the starchy pasta water. Whisk with your wooden spoon to emulsify with the butter, then turn heat down slightly and stir in the Marmite.
- Add spaghetti and toss to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle in parmesan and parsley and continue to gently toss until the sauce thickens around the spaghetti.
- Check for seasoning then serve hot with more parmesan!

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 1/4 cups cooking water and then drain.
- Meanwhile, combine the olive oil and pancetta in a large wide pot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pancetta is golden brown and crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in 1 teaspoon pepper, then add 3/4 cup of the reserved cooking water and the spaghetti, tossing until combined. Stir in the ricotta and 2 tablespoons pecorino, tossing constantly to evenly coat. (The ricotta will seem thick at first, but as it combines with the hot cooking water it will create a creamy sauce.) Add more cooking water a few tablespoons at a time if the sauce is too thick or dry. Season with salt.
- Divide the spaghetti among bowls. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons pecorino and 2 teaspoons pepper.

SPAGHETTI WITH MARMITE
I came across this recipe in Anna Del Conte's memoirs, Risotto with Nettles. Now, there are so many recipes I could borrow from her, and many I have, but this is the one I have to show you here. She introduces it as hardly a recipe, but I wanted to include it because I haven't as yet found a child who doesn't like it. I know the combination of pasta and Marmite sounds odd to the point of unfeasibility, but wait a moment, there is a traditional day-after-the-roast pasta dish, in which spaghetti is tossed in stock, and I have eaten shortcut versions of this in Italy (recreated guiltlessly in my own kitchen) which use a crumbled stock cube, along with some butter, olive oil, chopped rosemary and a little of the pasta cooking water to make a flavoursome sauce for spaghetti. If you think about it, Marmite offers saltiness and savouriness the way a stock cube might. I'm glad this recipe is here, and I thank Anna for it. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.

Steps:
- Cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water, according to the packet instructions. When the pasta is almost cooked, melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the Marmite/Vegemite and 1 tablespoon of the pasta water, mixing thoroughly to dissolve. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water; then drain the pasta and pour the Marmite/Vegemite mixture over the drained spaghetti, adding a little reserved pasta water to amalgamate if required. Serve with plenty of grated Parmesan cheese.
