How many Calories are in this Marmite Pasta?
There are 305 Calories per portion in this Marmite Pasta, which means it falls into our Everyday Light category.
This Marmite Pasta is perfect if you’re following a calorie controlled diet, and fits well with any one of the major diet plans such as Weight Watchers.
As a guide, an average man needs around 2,500kcal (10,500kJ) a day to maintain a healthy body weight. For an average woman, that figure is around 2,000kcal (8,400kJ) a day. Obviously, if your goal is to lose weight then you might want to adjust these slightly! You can read more about these recommendations on the NHS website.
Step 1
Put water onto boil for the pasta. Chop the leek into rings and onions into half moons, both finely chopped.
Step 2
Fry the leeks and onions in low calorie cooking spray until soft and golden.
Step 3
Once the pasta is cooked, drain the water, leaving a little bit in the pan – not too much otherwise it will be too watery. Add the vegetable stock pot, Marmite and fried vegetables and mix until combined.
Step 4
That’s it! Really simple, quick and adaptable. Enjoy!
What could I serve alongside this Marmite Pasta?
The following recipes would go great with our Marmite Pasta recipe:
How do you know when Marmite Pasta is cooked?
The only way to know if pasta is done is to taste it! It should be relatively firm to the bite. Around 10 mins on the boil should do the trick.
Standard advice here in the UK is to cook food until it has reached 70°C and stayed at that temperature for 2 minutes. This is to keep your family safe.
How long can you keep Marmite Pasta in the fridge?
Once you’ve put it out, ideally you should eat it within 4 hours.
If you allow any leftovers to cool, make sure to refrigerate in a container with a lid and chill. You can keep leftovers of Marmite Pasta in the fridge for approximately 3 days or so.
Can I freeze Marmite Pasta?
Yes you can! This recipe can be frozen, but please remember to do the following:
- Freeze it as soon as it is cold enough.
- Use a container or bag that is suitable for freezing.
Drizzling the pasta with a little olive oil will help the freezing process.
Don’t forget to add a label with what it is, and on what date you put it in the freezer!
How do I reheat Marmite Pasta?
From chilled: Place in a microwave proof container with loosely fitting lid and heat for 4-7 minutes until piping hot.
From frozen: Allow to defrost, and heat covered in the microwave for 3-5 minutes then stir. Cook for a further 5-7 minutes until piping hot.

Would this be nice with broccoli instead of leek?
HollyMonday 14th September 2020
Hi Vicky, you could definitely swap the leeks for broccoli. Cut the broccoli into small florets and if you prefer your broccoli with a little less crunch try cooking it in a pan of water until just soft then add to the pan with the onions. Hope that helps!

Can’t wait to make this… is it possible to make it night before and take it in tub for lunch or does it have to be eaten straight away!? ☺️
MeganTuesday 6th March 2018
This may be a stupid question, but does a stock pot mean just the jelly type pot? Or made up with boiling water as directed?
This sounds delicious! Can’t wait to try.
SarahWednesday 11th October 2017
This is delicious! Thanks! 🙂
MaryThursday 4th August 2016
How could one substitute a veggie stock cube for the stock pot? Possible?
Thanks
KaySaturday 6th August 2016
Just dissolve it in approx 50-100ml of hot water and stir in
