It’s easy to make our version of Gigi Hadid’s spicy vodka pasta if you follow our simple instructions.

Full printable recipe instructions, including measurements, are available in the recipe card below.

Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil, then add your pasta and cook it according to the package instructions, when cooked, drain but reserve some of the pasta water as you’ll need it later.

While the pasta is cooking start on the spicy vodka pasta sauce.

Heat your olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, when the olive oil is shimmering, add white onion and saute until they have softened and are translucent, be careful not to burn them.

Next, add minced garlic and saute for a minute.

Then, add tomato paste, stir to combine, and cook for 5 minutes, keep stirring frequently to avoid burning.

Now, if you’re using vodka, add vodka, stir, and cook for a further 2 minutes.

Next, add your heavy cream, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, stir to combine.

When your pasta sauce is smooth, add in your parmesan cheese, stir to combine, and then add some of the reserved pasta water, a little at a time until you get your preferred consistency.

Now, add your cooked pasta to the spicy vodka sauce along with the butter, and stir thoroughly to ensure the pasta is coated with the sauce and the butter has melted.

Serve immediately and garnish with either chopped parsley or chopped basil leaves and a sprinkling of vegetarian parmesan cheese.
