Ingredients
- 1 pound pasta of choice
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup of tomato paste
- 1 cup of heavy cream (see note below for a vegan version!)
- 2 tablespoons of butter

Instructions
- Cook your preferred pasta following the instructions on the package. Keep 1/2 cup of pasta water aside. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.
- Heat up 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Throw in minced garlic and diced shallot, letting them cook for 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir, letting it cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Pour in 2 tablespoons of vodka into the skillet. Then, add 1 cup of heavy cream (or choose the vegan version). Sprinkle in red pepper flakes for that spicy kick.
- Mix in the cooked pasta, reserved 1/2 cup of pasta water, butter, and parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Stir constantly and let it cook for 1 more minute.
- Take it off the heat and serve your Gigi Hadid Pasta with a touch of basil and an extra sprinkle of parmesan. Enjoy your quick, tasty, and delightful creation!
Notes
- Olive Oil Adjustment: The original recipe suggests using � cup of olive oil, but through testing, I found that � cup works just as wonderfully, bringing the perfect balance of flavors.
- Vodka Optional: Feel free to skip the vodka if you're not a fan or prefer a non-alcoholic version. It won't compromise the amazing taste. If you want the sauce a bit thinner, keeping some extra pasta water handy could be a smart move.
- Vegan Twist: For a vegan version, swap out the cream with thick oat milk or, my personal favorite, full-fat coconut milk. To keep it fully plant-based, omit the parmesan and consider adding a touch of nutritional yeast. However, for an extra boost in flavor, grab some vegan parmesan � Violife has a fantastic option that adds that cheesy goodness.
