Spaghettoni in butter and fresh yeast
Item 1 of 1
This creative spaghettoni recipe (a thicker form of spaghetti) is served swaddled in butter and sprinkled with dehydrated brewer's yeast for a tangy, umami finish. Using good quality ingredients is imperative in this dish due to its minimalism, so source the best butter, spaghettoni and yeast that you can. The dish may seem simple, but legendary chef Alain Ducasse once described it as the best dish he'd ever had – high praise indeed.
