Get ready to dive into the deliciousness of Gigi Hadid’s Spicy Vodka Pasta – a mouthwatering treat that’s both easy to whip up and vegan-friendly. This pasta masterpiece combines tender pasta with a rich and creamy tomato sauce, featuring the perfect blend of garlic, shallot, tomato paste, and a hint of red pepper flakes for that extra kick.

To start, cook up a pound of your favorite pasta – elbow macaroni works like a charm. While that’s bubbling away, let’s get the sauce going. Heat up a quarter cup of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in minced garlic and diced shallot, letting them dance in the sizzle for 5 minutes. Then, add the star of the show – tomato paste – and let it party in the skillet for an extra 3 minutes, stirring like a pasta pro.
Now, here comes the fun part. If you’re feeling a bit fancy, add 2 tablespoons of vodka to the mix. Next up, pour in a cup of heavy cream (or go the vegan route, as noted below). Sprinkle in some red pepper flakes for that spicy charm. Once the pasta is cooked and drained, join the party by adding it to the skillet along with half a cup of reserved pasta water, butter, and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper, stir it all together, and let it mingle for another minute.
And there you have it – Gigi Hadid’s Spicy Vodka Pasta, ready to steal the spotlight on your dinner table. Top it off with basil and an extra sprinkle of parmesan for that finishing touch. It’s a simple, quick, and utterly delightful recipe that’s sure to become a favorite in your kitchen!

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
- Salt + pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup parmesan
- 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons of vodka (optional)*
- 1 small shallot, diced
- 1/4 cup olive oil*
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 ½ cup of olive oil, but through testing, I found that ¼ 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.

Time for The Tips!
- Salt the Pasta Water: Don’t forget to jazz up your pasta water with a good sprinkle of salt. It’s the secret sauce for bringing out the flavors. As a quick guide, toss in about 1 teaspoon of salt for every 4 cups of water. This simple step ensures your dish won’t taste bland.
- Tame the Spice: If you’re not a fan of heat, no worries! This recipe is just as tasty without the red pepper flakes. Feel free to skip them, and your pasta will still be a flavor-packed delight.
- Customize Your Dish: While I adore this vodka pasta in its classic form, you can always put your spin on it. Consider throwing in some grilled or rotisserie chicken, bacon, pancetta, or veggies to the sauce. Just remember, add these extras near the end and let them cozy up with the pasta, letting all the flavors meld perfectly. Your pasta, your rules!

Reheating and Manageing Leftover!
Storage Wisdom: Pop any remaining pasta in the fridge, and it’ll stay happy for up to 3 days. That’s your window to enjoy it all over again.
Reviving the Magic: When it’s time for round two, bring out a pan and set it to medium-low heat. Add a little splash of cream or milk – just enough to give the sauce a little wakeup call. Stir the pasta in and keep it moving until it’s all heated through. It’s like giving it a cozy blanket to warm up in. And there you have it – a revived bowl of deliciousness ready to be devoured once more!
Substitutions for Vodka in Vodka Pasta
- Skip the vodka altogether. Sure, vodka gives the dish a hint of acidity that tastes great, but truth be told, if you skip it, your dish will still be fantastic!
- Mix equal parts lime or lemon juice with apple or grape juice: Vodka adds a touch of acid to your pasta, and you can easily replicate that by combining equal parts of lemon or lime juice with apple or grape juice. It’s that simple!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Can I Use Milk Instead of Heavy Cream?
A: You can, but the sauce won’t thicken in the same way because it’s made with cream. If you want the same texture for this spicy vodka sauce, I’d go as far as using half and half.
Q: If I Don’t Like Spicy Food Will I Like This Dish?
A: Gigi Hadid Pasta is better suited for folks who want spice because it has a spicy vodka sauce. However, as indicated in the directions above, you can definitely manage the level of spiciness by varying the amount of red pepper flakes you use. If you would like, you can omit the red pepper flakes completely, but the flavor would be different.
Q: Can I Add a Protein to This Dish?
A: Definitely! Gigi Hadid Pasta is filling enough on its own if you keep it vegetarian. But blackened chicken or shrimp go great. I serve my pasta alla vodka recipe with blackened chicken.
