The Best gigi hadid vodka pasta recipe

I first tried this Gigi Hadid vodka pasta recipe a few years ago and it quickly became a family favorite. The creamy tomato sauce with a hint of vodka gives it a unique flavor that my kids actually ask for by name. It is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner because it comes together in about 30 minutes with simple ingredients you probably already have on hand. The sauce is rich and satisfying without being too heavy, and the pasta provides a good source of energy for the whole family. I love that it feels like a special meal but is easy enough for a regular Tuesday night. My husband and I enjoy it with a simple salad, and the leftovers are just as good the next day for lunch.

🥘Ingredients

For the Pasta

1 pound pasta (such as penne or rigatoni)
Salt for pasta water

For the Sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup tomato paste
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup vodka
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh basil for garnish

👨‍🍳Directions

1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
2While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
3Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
4Pour in the vodka and cook for 1 minute to let the alcohol cook off. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream.
5Add the Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes if using. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
6Add the drained pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
7Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Gigi Hadid Vodka Pasta

1. Can I make this recipe without vodka?

Yes, you can leave out the vodka. The sauce will still be creamy and delicious, though it will lack the subtle depth that vodka provides. You can substitute with a splash of chicken or vegetable broth.

2. What type of pasta works best?

Short pasta shapes like penne, rigatoni, or fusilli work well because they hold the creamy sauce nicely. You can also use spaghetti or fettuccine if you prefer.

3. Can I make this recipe dairy free?

You can substitute the heavy cream with full fat coconut milk or a dairy free cream alternative. Use a dairy free Parmesan or nutritional yeast for the cheese. The texture will be a bit different but still tasty.

4. How do I store leftovers?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or milk to loosen the sauce if needed.

5. Can I add protein to this dish?

Absolutely. You can add cooked chicken, shrimp, or Italian sausage. Simply cook the protein separately and stir it in with the pasta and sauce at the end.
