Method

Step 1: Prepare the zucchini

Grate the zucchini using a regular grater. Keep it ready while you chop the onions and garlic.

Step 2: Sauté the aromatics

In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium. Add the garlic and onion. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until soft and lightly golden.

Step 3: Slow-cook the zucchini

Add the grated zucchini to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook uncovered for 30 to 40 minutes. Stir occasionally and add a splash of water or veggie broth if it starts to stick. The zucchini will slowly melt into a soft, creamy texture.

Step 4: Cook the pasta

While the zucchini is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and keep aside.

Step 5: Combine and finish

Once the zucchini sauce is thick and creamy, taste and adjust the seasoning. Add chili flakes if you like a little heat. Toss the cooked pasta into the zucchini mixture and mix until the pasta is well-coated.

Step 6: Serve and enjoy

Plate the pasta and top with grated parmesan and fresh basil leaves. Serve warm and enjoy this comforting, royal-inspired dish.

Notes

I enjoy serving this Meghan Markle Pasta Recipe hot, straight from the stove. I sprinkle parmesan and a few fresh basil leaves. It goes great with garlic bread or a crisp green salad on the side.

You may make a heartier supper by adding grilled chicken or roasted vegetables. I occasionally drizzle a little extra olive oil on top to add richness.
