Meghan Markle is whipping something up in the kitchen.
On Aug. 19, the Duchess of Sussex, 44, posted a new video to her Instagram that showed her making a pasta dish in what appeared to be her home kitchen in Montecito, California.
Meghan was makeup-free in the quick clip, set to the song “Mia Cara, Mia Amore” by Annette Funicello, and showed her preparing the recipe with garlic, lemons, olive oil and spaghetti. A close look showed a few jars of As ever preserves on the counter, a signature item from her lifestyle line.
The Duchess of Sussex topped the pasta with fresh basil, grated cheese and more olive oil, smiling with pride at her creation after it was plated.
From there, the camera cut to the pasta dish on a table and Meghan pouring her As ever rosé in a wine glass beside.
“Cooking up more than pasta (with homemade preserved lemons)…..so much goodness is coming soon 💫,” she wrote below the video.
The Duchess of Sussex was casually dressed in the clip that appeared to give an intimate glimpse into her home, where she lives with Prince Harry and their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4.

Meghan has previously posted Instagram videos from her home kitchen, but she told PEOPLE in an exclusive interview why she didn’t film her Netflix series With Love, Meghan at her house.
“I wanted to protect that safe haven,” the Duchess of Sussex said. “We’re a close-knit family, and I love those moments — putting Lili down for a nap, having lunch together, having sacred time together at the end of the day.”
“Our kitchen is where Mama just cooks for the family, and with a crew of 80-plus people, that’s a lot of people to have in your house!” she added.
