Meghan Markle has taken a beloved Italian classic and transformed it into something so shocking that it has left Italians speechless, food critics appalled, and the internet wondering if legal action might be necessary.
Her latest kitchen experiment? A one-pan pasta dish so controversial that even those with the most forgiving taste buds are struggling to comprehend it.
The renowned food critique duo, Lionfield Music, known for their brutally honest opinions on Italian cuisine, decided to give Meghan’s dish a try. Their verdict?
"It’s not the worst thing we’ve ever had… but we wouldn’t do it again."
And honestly, that says a lot.
For Italians, pasta is a sacred tradition, and calling it "noodles" is akin to referring to fine wine as "grape juice with an attitude." Spaghetti, fettuccine, and penne are not just generic strands of dough—they are culinary art. Lumping them into the same category as instant ramen is practically an act of war.
Instead of following the time-honored technique of boiling pasta in salted water, draining it, and tossing it with a rich, flavorful sauce, Meghan took a different route—the infamous one-pan method. This approach involves dumping all the ingredients into a single pan and hoping for the best.
Her justification? “Leaving in all the starch makes it creamy.”
Reality check: It doesn’t make it creamy—it makes it gluey, sticky, and unappetizing, like something drying on a first grader’s art project.
As if that weren’t enough, Meghan’s take on pasta salad took things to an even more disturbing level. Instead of using a light dressing, she poured in excessive amounts of pasta water, transforming the dish into what can only be described as pasta soup.
Have you ever wanted to eat a soggy, indecisive dish that’s neither a salad nor a proper pasta meal? No? Exactly.
The Internet Reacts
Naturally, social media had a field day with this culinary catastrophe. Comments ranged from:
“That’s not pasta, it’s a crime scene.”
“Where is Gordon Ramsay when you need him?”
“Her kids eat this? Are they okay?”
And perhaps the most damning of all:
“This looks like something a college student would make at 2 a.m. after realizing they’ve run out of microwave dinners.”
What Have We Learned?
1. Italians will defend their pasta with their lives.
2. Starch does NOT equal creaminess.
3. If you’re going to share a recipe with the world, maybe—just maybe—consult an actual chef first.
One thing is certain: Meghan Markle’s cooking is just as controversial as everything else she does.
Buona fortuna to anyone daring enough to try her "noodles."
