Copy original shape
paste behind
move pasted shape so it is offset from original shape
fill pasted shape with pattern
adjust edges of pasted shape to align with original path.

TIP
You never need to create a diagonal line pattern in Illustrator. Simply create a vertical or horizontal line pattern, then apply it to a shape and use Object > Transform > Rotate. Untick the Transform Objects box (the Transform Patterns box will auto-tick) and enter the angle you want the lines. This is much easier than creating actual angled patterns. (Photoshop can't do this in case anyone is wondering).
