    GIGI HADID PASTA

    Bursting with flavor, with just a touch of spice and sweetness, this Gigi Hadid vodka pasta is addictive for all the right reasons. 

    Supermodel Gigi Hadid is credited with this creation that offers a delicious take on traditional vodka pasta. And this recipe has vibrant and fresh flavors that are sure to put this in the running for your go-to pasta recipe.

    I mean, how could it not?

    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 delciousness 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.

    By the way, if you want this recipe to go even quicker, you can make this microwave pasta for the noodles in 5 minutes, and then you just have to whip up the sauce!

    Now, with all that said, this Gig Hadid vodka pasta is a star all by itself, but if you want to complete this dish, I highly suggest making these Easy 5-Ingredient Biscuits or this Instant Pot Bread for a side.

    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!

    Oh, and if you want to try another delicious pasta recipe, you have to give this trenette al pesto recipe a try next. It's the exact pasta recipe from Disney's movie Luca!

    How to Make Gigi Hadid Pasta

    This pasta dish incorporates classic Italian flavors with a simple cooking method. So, even if it's your first time making a homemade spicy vodka sauce, this recipe will turn out on point.

    Now, get all of the ingredients ready to go, and let's make this TikTok pasta recipe!

    A black pan with garlic and tomato paste mixed together in it.

    Step 1: Making The Sauce

    First, take out a large saucepan, add the olive oil, and heat it over medium heat. Then, when the oil's hot, add the garlic and shallot to the pan and cook for about 7 minutes - or until soft.

    Next, add the tomato paste to the pan of softened garlic and shallots. And once the tomato paste darkens in color, you can add heavy cream to the pan. 

    Now that you have the base of the sauce, pour the vodka in and let everything cook until the vodka evaporates. 

    After it cooks through, add the red pepper flakes to the sauce and stir until everything is fully combined. Then, sprinkle your desired amount of salt and pepper in, give it another stir, and remove the sauce from the heat.

    Step 2: Making The Pasta

    Now, when the sauce melds all of the flavors together, you can make the pasta. 

    Boil a pot of water, add some salt to it, and cook the pasta according to the package directions. I used shells, but any pasta will work just as well in this recipe!

    Once the pasta is cooked, drain and remove from heat, setting aside ½ cup of the pasta water for later.

    Step 3: Completing The Dish

    Now put the pan with the sauce in it back on medium heat, add the butter, and stir until it melts. 

    Once it has been incorporated and fully melts, add the cooked pasta to the sauce and the reserve pasta water.

    Then, add the parmesan cheese, some salt & pepper to taste, and stir the shells to immerse them in the vodka sauce. 

    Lastly, serve the pasta with some more parmesan cheese sprinkled on top, a couple of basil leaves, and enjoy!

    How to Store Gigi Hadid Pasta 

    This spicy vodka pasta will make about 4 servings, so it's perfect for a big family dinner! And everyone will without a doubt love this spicy vodka pasta recipe. 

    Now, my favorite part about Gigi Hadid's pasta recipe is how delicious it is days after making it!

    This spicy vodka pasta keeps well in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-5 days after you make it, and it's just as delicious cold, as it is hot.

    How to reheat spicy vodka pasta

    Although this spicy vodka pasta recipe is oddly delicious cold, you can reheat it if you want.

    My favorite way to reheat this spicy vodka pasta is in a pan with a little olive oil over medium heat. You'll want to make sure you continually stir it while heating until the pasta reaches your desired temperature. 

    Reheating it like this on the stovetop will give it an almost crispy texture that is so delicious, like this fried spaghetti.

    But if you want to reheat the pasta another way, here are some great ways to do that.

    FAQ's About This Gigi Hadid Pasta Recipe 

    Is the Gigi Hadid pasta spicy?

    Yes, if you add in the red pepper flakes, it will be a spicy vodka pasta. But to take the spice away, just leave out the red pepper flakes, and this dish will be just as delicious! For a more cheesy flavor in the sauce, you can replace the red pepper chili flakes with some grated parmesan cheese.

    What do you need for Gigi Hadid pasta? 

    To make Gigi Hadid's spicy vodka pasta, all you need is a few simple Italian ingredients - like pasta, olive oil, shallots, garlic, heavy cream, and vodka! And you can add in things like mozzarella cheese or take away elements you don't want, like garlic.

    What kind of pasta does Gigi Hadid use?

    The Gigi Hadid's spicy vodka pasta original recipe uses shell pasta, but you can use anything you want! The pasta isn't what will make this your new favorite pasta dish, the spicy vodka pasta sauce is. So you can try making it with penne pasta, whole wheat pasta, regular wheat pasta, linguine, rigatoni, or even gnocchi.
