It seems that the only thing I’ve been seeing on TikTok recently are attempts to recreate Gigi Hadid’s scrumptious-looking pasta, so I decided to try it out for myself. I wanted to make the pasta for my family, so I wrote down all the measurements and ingredients and headed to the kitchen.
Here is a step by step process on how to make Hadid’s delicious masterpiece.
-
Prepare your ingredients.
-
Chop your cloves of garlic and green onions.
-
Before you begin making the sauce, boil your pasta. Follow the instruction on the back of the box to aid in this step.
-
In a large pan, place your olive oil, garlic, and green onions. Heat these ingredients up until caramelized, then place the tomato paste into the pan.
-
Once the mixture appears smooth, add in the heavy cream and vodka.
-
Once the sauce is creamy, add in your red pepper flakes.
-
Once the pasta is ready, take one fourth of the pasta water and add it to your sauce.
-
Stir until the sauce is creamy and add in salt and pepper for a little pop of flavor.
-
Once your sauce is done, add in your pasta.
-
Fold in the parmesan cheese and continue to do this until the cheese is blended.
-
Add additional parmesan cheese and basil on top for a final touch.
This pasta is so flavorful. I was glad I decided to put less red pepper flakes in the sauce because I do like a little spice, but not too much — half a tablespoon was just the right amount for me. I decided to add basil as well, and it brought so much flavor to the dish, which I didn’t even think was possible.
I love everything about this dish and I recommend you try it yourself!
An important note — don’t add too much olive oil. I added a little more than a half a cup, and the sauce was very oily.
