Spaghetti with Bovril

My hubby is a fan of bovril & marmite. He loves to add it in his drink and instant noodles! While I'm browsing through one of my Nigella Lawson's recipe book, I found this recipe! She uses Marmite but I substitute with bovril and I've also increased the amount of bovril used as my hubby preferred it to be more salty >.<" For me this noodle dish taste not too bad and can be served on its own ! Great on lazy days :P
