Creamy Baby Marrow Spaghetti with fried cheese grillers

Today I made a "toddler proof" meal that turned out to be absolutely delicious! Honestly, I didn't know if my five year old would like it or not, but I do know she absolutely adores spaghetti with melted cheese. With this in mind, I tried to make something similar but with a twist. Her plate was empty with no complaints-need I say more!



Serves: 4

Ingredients:
450g Baby marrow spaghetti (you can buy this pre-packed) 
Cream sauce:
250ml Cream
115g Cream cheese
1 tsp butter
1 tsp dried oregano
¼ Grated cheese
Himalayan salt and black pepper to taste

Cheese grillers:
10ml Olive oil
1 Tbls ginger/garlic/chilli paste
4-5 Chopped cheese grillers
A pinch of Turmeric

Topping:
Parmesan shavings
Fresh chives

Directions:
Stir-fry the paste, cheese grillers and turmeric in the olive oil until golden brown. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside
Pour the cream, butter and cream cheese into a small pot and whisk into a lump free creamy texture. Add oregano, salt and pepper and grated cheese. Stir until cheese melts and set aside
Microwave the baby marrow spaghetti according to package instructions. Gently combine all elements and sprinkle with parmesan and chives

Notes:
Make sure you strain the spaghetti properly because the cream sauce will become watery if it is not drained properly
