Custard cream:

Blend all the other ingredients together. Add the parsley purée.

Spaghetti:
Cook the spaghetti. Drain them without cooling them.
Lay it immediately on roasting foil very flatly. Press them one against another on a tray of 40x60 cm and spread a thin layer of stuffing on the spaghetti. Cut-off the tray’s edges.
Starting from one side of the tray, lay a custard cream rectangle perpendicularly to the spaghetti. Roll it in order to wrap completely the custard cream with spaghetti. Put cling-film around to keep the shape.
Heat-up at 70° C for 10 minutes just before serve.
