Ok, so this is deviating from the whole '3 recipe' thing, but this is so quick and easy I just have to share. It was inspired by a few recipes I've seen online recently.
You will need:
- A tin of hot dog sausages
- Spaghetti
- Marmite
- 100g cream cheese
- Frozen peas/sweetcorn
- Cheese (for grating)
- A saucepan
Ok, so you might think Marmite is a bit of a weird ingredient. Bear with me. It is more a background flavour and is used as a stock for the sauce more than anything. The cream cheese largely dilutes the taste and using means you don't need to add any salt.
1. Open the tin of hot dog sausages a cut into bitesize pieces.
2. Take the spaghetti and skewer the sausage bits onto the strands like kebabs.
3. Boil a pan of water and put the sausage and pasta in. Cook according to the instructions on the packet. Just before the spaghetti is ready, add some peas/sweetcorn.
4. Drain off most of the water. Hold about enough to fill a shot glass back for the sauce.
5. Add the cream cheese and a dessert spoon of Marmite and stir in.
6. Serve with grated parmesan/cheddar
Voila! The whole meal takes about 15 minutes (eat your heart out Jamie). The most time consuming (and fun) bit is doing the sausage skewers and I enlisted the help of my daughter for this bit.
