Meghan Markle’s - or, rather, the Sussex’s - quick pasta recipe from her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, has gone incredibly viral. The successful Netflix show released on the 4th of March 2025 has amassed over 12.6 million hours watched and 2.6 million views.
The reviews of the show have been quite varied and odd, from those who believe it is toe-curlingly unlovable to those who might have particular critiques but aren’t so dramatic with their reviews. I fall in the second camp. Meghan’s new show is not groundbreaking or pioneering, and I never expected it to be. It's a cute show where Meghan shows us a variety of little things she does to add some beauty and whimsy to her hosting and everyday life. While I agree with some critiques of the show, it absolutely does not deserve all the incendiary and, quite frankly, insane reviews it has gotten so far. Her suggestions and tips are affordable and easy to achieve and customise.
Out of this show filmed in Montecito, California, emerged the viral easy one-pot pasta. As a (lazy) lover of quick and delicious meals, of course, I had to try it. And… the final verdict is it’s awesome. It’s very fresh and delicious, and most importantly, quick and easy.
Most of the ingredients can be found in your pantry. I added prawns because I cannot bring myself to eat without animal protein. Measurements for my variation of Meghan Sussex’s pasta were eyeballed, so feel free to do the same.
