Meghan Markle Pasta Recipe

Meghan Markle Pasta Recipe

We adore a delightful one pot pasta evening meal around here! This Meghan Markle’s pasta dish is not only flavorful and simple to prepare, but it’s also an excellent technique to integrate more vegetables into your dishes.

This recipe is worthy for Spring; it is fresh, light and lively! Thanks to all the green veggies utilized, including kale, spinach, and rocket leaves (arugula).

If you have watched Meghan Markle’s show (With Love, Meghan) on Netflix, she prepared this single pan spaghetti for her friend in episode 1, along with other homemade meals and gifts. She tossed all the ingredients into the skillet and poured boiling water over it to start the cooking process right away. Interestingly, there’s no cream in this spaghetti, yet it turned out wonderfully creamy, thanks to the starch released by the pasta as it simmered.

Before you dismiss this simple one-pot recipe, I encourage you to give it a shot first. While it may not be an earth-shattering dish, it is certainly tasty and ideal for a hectic weeknight. This meal is set to become a staple in your weekly cooking.
