In this recipe, I will show you how to make Gigi’s spicy vodka pasta. Here is the exact recipe for the viral Gigi hadid pasta with vodka sauce.
INGREDIENTS
1. PASTA – You need 2 cups of your favourite pasta. Gigi chose pasta shells for her vodka pasta, but I personally think you can use any pasta for this recipe. There are many varieties of pasta available, like penne, etc.
You can also use whole wheat or whole grain pasta; they are best for your health. Cook the pasta and toss it in the creamy vodka sauce until coated. Don’t forget to add pasta water to the sauce; this will make the sauce thicker and tastier.
2. OLIVE OIL – I added 2 tablespoons of olive oil for cooking and making the sauce.
3. TOMATO PASTE – Use 1 cup of tomato sauce. It is a very important ingredient and the base of the sauce when you are making pasta. It will add flavour and colour to your pasta.
4. ONIONS – 1 finely chopped onion. Gigi Hadid uses red onions in her pasta recipe, but you can use yellow or white onions too.
5. GARLIC – 2 cloves of garlic. When you toss garlic with onions, it will add more flavour to pasta. Garlic has flavour, and it will add richness to the sauce. Also, garlic has many health benefits, like boosting your immune system, etc.
6. HEAVY CREAM – Use 2 cups of heavy cream. Heavy cream will make the sauce thicker and more creamy. It is perfect to add richness to the pasta sauce; it’s a key ingredient for creamy pasta sauce. You can also use milk, but don’t forget to cook and reduce the milk until it gets thick and creamy.
7. PARMESAN CHEESE – Use good-quality, fresh-grated Paremesan cheese.
8. VODKA – Vodka adds a really good flavour to the sauce. You can use any brand of vodka. This ingredient is optional; you can make the famous Gigi Hadid pasta recipe with or without vodka. The sauce will taste delicious with or without adding.
9. OREGANO AND RED CHILLI FLAKES – Use 1 teaspoon of fresh oregano and 1 teaspoon of chilli flakes. It will enhance the flavour.
10. FRESH BASIL – Use basil leaves for perfect plating and garnishing.
