Dara Huang has sent support to Meghan Markle amid public backlash towards the Duchess of Sussex.
Meghan, 43, released season one of her Netflix series “With Love, Meghan” earlier this month to scathing reviews, especially for her one-pot pasta recipe.
The recipe was controversial as the Duchess referred to the spaghetti as “noodles”, and also partially cooked them in the oven.
Chef Danny Freeman attempted the recipe on social media, and the video was liked by Dara Huang – the ex-fiance of Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Beatrice’s husband.

Freeman captioned the video: “Try the Meghan Markle Pasta!
“She doesn’t really give an exact recipe, but after watching what she does, here’s my writeup of her Single Skillet Spaghetti Recipe: Bring 3 1/2 cups water to a boil in a tea kettle.
“Meanwhile, slice 2 cups cherry tomatoes in half. Add them to a skillet along with 3 cloves minced garlic. Drizzle generously with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
“Add 1 pound spaghetti to the skillet, and then cover with the zest of 1 lemon. Chop the stems of 2 to 3 pieces of Swiss Chard or Lacinato Kale and add them to the skillet.
“Add the boiling water to the skillet, cover, and then cook over medium-high heat for about 6 minutes. Remove the cover, then the leaves of your chard or kale, loosely chopped. Cook for another 4 to 5 minutes, until the pasta is al dente.
“Remove from the heat and add in a pinch of red pepper flakes, 1/2 cup arugula, and 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan. Toss together and serve.”
In the video he referred to the recipe as a “keeper” due to the fact the starchy pasta water created a delicious creamy sauce.
However, he noted that his followers could try using broth as opposed to water to create a tastier sauce, as Meghan’s was “bland”, according to the chef.

One fan commented: “As an Italian, I can guarantee you that this is a very used technique, we call it ‘risottare’ – it means that you cook the pasta as you do when you make a risotto, you add water and let the pasta absorb it until it’s cooked, to have an even more savoury dish you can cook it with broth instead of plain water.
“And as you said the results will be very creamy, juicy and savoury without adding cream or too many fatty ingredients.”
Another added: “If you’re kids don’t like veggies blend them up with some of the pasta water and seasonings for a secret veggie sauce.”
