Method

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6.

  • Pour the veg oil into a pan, to a depth of 4cm, then heat over a medium setting. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-12 mins until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain on kitchen roll.

  • Unwrap the Camembert, put back in the box and sit on a baking tray. Slash the cheese a few times on top and poke in the garlic. Bake for 25 mins until the cheese has melted.

  • Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti according to the pack instructions. Drain, toss with the olive oil and divide between 4 bowls.

  • Put the Camembert in the middle of the table and scatter over the shallots, thyme and hazelnuts. Let everyone spoon the cheese and toppings over their pasta and stir together.
