Meghan Markle has managed to offend several people with her cooking skills on With Love, Meghan. However, she is particularly drawing flak for the recipe she followed while cooking pasta in the first episode of the show.

When cooking pasta, people usually boil the pasta before putting it in sauce. However, Markle took a different approach for her “single skillet spaghetti". She took uncooked pasta and placed it on a bed of other ingredients, including garlic, olive oil, and tomatoes. She then poured boiling water over the raw pasta, topping off the dish by adding lacinato kale and chard.
