Meghan Markle’s Controversial Pasta Dish From Netflix Show: Everything You Need to Know

The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has found herself at the center of controversy once again, this time over a pasta dish featured on her Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. The show offers a peek into her elegant California home and garden, with tips and recipes for viewers to enjoy.

Despite its aspirational vibe reminiscent of Barefoot Contessa or Martha Stewart Living, the show has faced backlash for Meghan’s unconventional one-pan pasta recipe. Instead of boiling the pasta separately, she combines it with cherry tomatoes and greens in a cold pan, then covers them with boiling water from a kettle, yielding a creamy, sauce-like consistency without the need for cream.

While some viewers praised the low-maintenance nature of the dish, others criticized Meghan for her cooking method. Even a pasta expert, Danny Freeman, weighed in by recreating the recipe and posting his reaction on social media. His video garnered millions of views, with many defending Meghan’s cooking technique.

Danny, known as @DannyLovesPasta, stressed the practicality of Meghan’s approach, especially for parents with young children like himself. In fact, his own experience as a parent inspired his latest cookbook, Italianish, which features quick and easy Italian American dishes perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ultimately, Meghan’s pasta dish may have sparked debate online, but it’s worth trying for yourself to see if it’s a hit in your own household. Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it – after all, even celebrity chefs like Martha Stewart have embraced similar cooking methods!
