Meghan Markle Inspired One Pan Pasta 🍝

Meghan Markle’s cooking show, With Love, Meaghan, premiered earlier this month and has a lot of people talking. Like it or not, she did make a 1 pan spaghetti that has gone viral, so I was inspired to whip up my own. Have you seen her show yet? If so, what do you think?

Meghan Markle Inspired 1 Pan Spaghetti

Ingredients:
¼ cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2-3 large cloves of garlic, minced finely
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 cups of grated zucchini (skin on, grated on a box grater)
Zest of 1 lemon (about 1 tablespoon)
1 Lb of Spaghetti (I used thin spaghetti)
½ cup of fresh lemon juice
2 cups of chicken or vegetable stock
2 cups of water
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons of butter cut into small cubes (optional)
½ cup Parmegiano Reggiano (freshly grated)
Handful of fresh basil leaves, sliced into ribbons
 
Steps:
1. Bring the chicken stock and water to a boil in a small pot or kettle. Set aside.
2. In a another saucepan or skillet with at least 3 inch sides (and a lid), heat the olive oil on medium heat. Once warm, add the garlic, red pepper flakes and a dash of salt and black pepper and sweat until fragrant.
3. Add in the grated zucchini and cook for 3 minutes, tossing periodically.
4. Add in the lemon zest and lemon juice and then place the raw spaghetti on top. Pour the boiling hot stock/water mixture over the pasta and sprinkle with a little salt and black pepper.
5. Cover the pot with the lid and cook over medium heat for about 6 minutes.
6. Remove the lid and toss the pasta to coat in the zucchini mixture. Add in the butter, Parmegiano cheese and basil and toss again until it all comes together and the pasta is al dente. Adjust the seasoning, adding more salt and pepper if needed.
7. Serve topped with extra Parmegiano cheese, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and fresh cracked black pepper
