| 50 | g | Short pasta of choice |
| 75 | g | Butter |
| ½ | Medium onion, chopped | |

Method
- Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add the oil and pasta. Cook for 6 – 8 minutes, until al dente (firm to the bite). Drain well and set aside.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over low to medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes, until soft. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 3 – 5 minutes, stirring continuously until mixture turns a light golden brown.
- Gradually whisk in milk and cream and whisk until smooth and lump-free. Continue cooking and whisking until the sauce reaches the desired thickness. Stir in salt and remove from the heat.
- Gradually stir in the cheese and stir until melted and the sauce is smooth. Mix in the Marmite.
- Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta and mix well. Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish and sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 190 °C / 375 °C for 20 – 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
