Gigi Hadid Pasta, also known as “Vodka Pasta” or “Vodka Sauce Pasta,” gained popularity after supermodel Gigi Hadid shared her version of the recipe on social media. This dish features a creamy tomato-based sauce infused with vodka, creating a rich and flavorful pasta experience. While the exact recipe may vary, common ingredients include tomato sauce, heavy cream, vodka, garlic, onion, and herbs like basil or parsley. The vodka adds depth to the sauce without overwhelming the other flavors, resulting in a creamy, slightly tangy pasta sauce that pairs beautifully with any type of pasta. Gigi Hadid Pasta has become a favorite among pasta enthusiasts for its simplicity, versatility, and luxurious taste, making it a staple in many home kitchens.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb pasta (such as penne or rigatoni)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup vodka
  • 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves, chopped, for garnish
  • Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped onion, and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Carefully pour in the vodka and let it simmer for about 2 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off.
  4. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring until well combined. Simmer the sauce for an additional 5 minutes, until it thickens to your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly.
  7. To serve, divide the pasta among plates or bowls. Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  1. Choice of Pasta: While penne or rigatoni are commonly used for Gigi Hadid Pasta, feel free to use your favorite pasta shape. Fusilli, spaghetti, or fettuccine would work well too.
  2. Alcohol Content: The vodka adds flavor to the sauce but cooks off during the simmering process, leaving behind a subtle essence. However, if you prefer not to use alcohol, you can omit it from the recipe.
  3. Consistency of Sauce: Adjust the cooking time to achieve your desired sauce consistency. If you prefer a thicker sauce, simmer it for a bit longer. Conversely, if you like a thinner sauce, you can add a splash of pasta cooking water to the skillet.
  4. Garnish: Freshly chopped basil leaves add a burst of freshness and color to the dish. You can also sprinkle some extra grated Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.
  5. Make It Ahead: This pasta dish can be made ahead of time and reheated before serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  6. Customization: Feel free to customize the recipe to suit your taste preferences. You can add diced pancetta or cooked shrimp for extra protein, or toss in some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for added sweetness and depth of flavor.
  7. Serve with Bread: Serve Gigi Hadid Pasta with a side of garlic bread or crusty Italian bread to mop up the delicious sauce.
  8. Pairing Suggestions: This pasta pairs well with a crisp green salad dressed with balsamic vinaigrette or a glass of chilled white wine for a complete meal.
