Lunch - Yellow Spaghetti

This is a recipe inspired by Yellow Spaghetti in Nigellissima, by Nigella Lawson. It is warm, slightly spiced and comfortingly creamy, and quick to make! I like to have it with a baby spinach leaf salad on the side.

Serves 2

1/4tsp saffron strands
200g spaghetti
salt
2 eggs
4 x 15ml tbsp grated chedder
2 x 15ml tbsp double cream
pepper
1 x 15ml tbsp butter

Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions
5mins before the pasta is cooked, start making the sauce;
Melt the butter in a small pan and add the saffron, stir and take off the heat
Whisk (or mix with a fork) the eggs, cream and cheese in a cup
Add salt and pepper to taste
When the pasta is cooked, remove a small cupful of the pasta water
Drain the pasta
Add 2tbsp of the pasta water to the butter and saffron
Pour over the spaghetti and mix thourghly
Add the creamy mixture to the spaghetti and mix thoroughly
Grate more chedder over if you like
Divide between 2 bowls and serve immediatly

Enjoy!
