These Marion fusion pasta recipes are a VIBE (sorry, Italy)

This winning dish took Marion Grasby’s socials by storm. This garlic butter pasta is so simple and incredibly delicious, too, making maximum use from minimal ingredients. It’s also ideal as a meat-free meal.

The fusion pasta force is strong with this one: tangy, spicy kimchi interweaves with glossy, cheesy spaghetti. Italian-Korean alchemy at its finest.

Unbelievably cheesy and with layers of flavour thanks to the umami-packed miso, this is our kinda pasta bake. You’ll also love Marion’s trick for squeezing in some hidden vegies, making it a slightly healthier dinner option. (Emphasis on slightly… this is a cheese-lover’s dream!)

This one’s IMMENSE. The texture of that butter sauce is bang on, while using our fave Korean condiment brings an untraditional but totally welcome addition to proceedings.

Creamy, bacon-y carbonara with one little secret Asian ingredient that really takes this pasta dish to the next level. Can you guess what it is? Ok, so the clue was in the name. But in all seriousness, miso pasta is the BEST!

Ragu, spaghetti with meat sauce or just plain ol’ spag bol… it’s delicious whatever you want to call it! This Asian-spiked version adds some untraditional ingredients, and is all the better for it. Get ready to discover your next family classic.

Packed full of flavour, yet still so soft and tender, these meatballs are the perfect companion to an epic tomato sauce and a bowl of freshly cooked spaghetti. All together now… yum!

A pile of spicy tuna fusion pasta, using pantry staples… and topped with the oozy, crumbed egg of your dreams? Guys, this dish is heaven in a bowl. Get amongst it!

This spaghetti recipe is a bit of a standout. Mind out if you’re making it for more than two people though, as if you crowd the pan with more pasta then you may run into trouble! If so, rustle it up in batches so you get optimum epicness.

This pasta is a triple-threat umami bomb: there’s miso, mushrooms and parmesan cheese. Creamy and silky, it’s a perfect weeknight dinner as there’s such minimal prep involved. Enjoy!

Traditional tom yum soup flavours infuse a tomato sauce, resulting in a gorgeously rich dinner you’ll want to get lost in. Don’t forget to keep your pasta al dente as you’ll finish the cooking in the sauce at the end.

Fusion pasta is a glorious thing. Spicy pad kee mao (drunken noodles) gets its name because it’s a great weekend hangover cure, with its flavour and colour from the prawns and fresh Asian chillies and vegetables. Use spaghetti cooked al dente instead of traditional Thai noodles for extra carbs!
