I mean, how could it not be?

This Gigi Hadid pasta recipe pairs perfectly al denté pasta with a sauce that's ultra-rich & creamy, and a tiny bit spicy. And, the entire dish comes together by topping the whole thing off with - extra umami - a generous amount of parmesan cheese!

Oh, and if you love easy pasta recipes, this one is the definition of that. All of this deliciousness takes under 30 minutes to make from start to finish! Plus, clean-up is a breeze, since everything cooks in one pan, just like this rasta pasta with jerk chicken.

Ingredients

Ok, so the ingredients used in this recipe are all common cooking ingredients that are found in many pasta and Italian recipes. And, honestly, odds are you have them in your kitchen or have cooked with them before!

Here's everything you'll need:

• ¼ cup olive oil
• 1 small clove of garlic, diced
• 1 small shallot, diced 
• ¼ cup tomato paste
• ½ cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon vodka
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 16-18 oz (225g) pasta shells
• 1 tablespoon butter
• ¼ cup parmesan cheese
• Basil, chopped, to serve
• Salt and pepper to taste

Now, as we've already talked about, this Gigi Hadid vodka pasta recipe is a tad spicy. So, if you aren't a fan of spice, just leave out the red pepper flakes, and reduce the amount of garlic a touch as well. Even if you make those adjustments, you'll still walk away with an unforgettable pasta dish!

How To Make Gigi Hadid Pasta

1. Make the sauce. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil, garlic, and shallot. Cook for 7 minutes, or until soft. Add the tomato paste to the pan and cook until it darkens in color. Next, add in the heavy cream and stir to combine.

2. Finish the sauce. Add the vodka to the pan and let it cook until the liquid evaporates. Then add in the red pepper flakes for that addictive spice and give the sauce a stir to combine everything. Season the pasta with salt and pepper, then remove the sauce from the heat.

3. Cook the pasta. Add the pasta to a large pot of boiling water and cook it according to the package instructions. Strain the cooked pasta and reserve ½ cup of pasta water for later.

4. Combine the pasta and sauce. Put the pan with the sauce back over medium heat. Add the butter to the sauce and stir until the butter has melted. Add the cooked pasta along with the reserved pasta water to the sauce and mix. Add parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper, and stir everything to coat the pasta in the sauce. Top with a sprinkle of parmesan and basil, and serve warm. Enjoy!

How To Store Gigi Hadid Pasta

In the fridge: Transfer the pasta to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for about 5 days.

In the freezer: Put the pasta in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months.

Reheating: I love putting the pasta alla vodka back in a skillet and heating over medium heat. Heating it like this on the stovetop will give it an almost crispy texture that is so delicious, like this fried spaghetti.
