When I saw that spicy vodka pasta was trending, you know I had to give you the recipe. So here it is – my take on the viral Gigi Hadid vodka pasta.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining. While pasta is cooking, make the vodka sauce.
In a large saucepan, heat the butter, garlic and shallot over medium heat. Cook until softened, 3-5 minutes.
Add tomato paste, cook until the sauce is darker and a bit caramelized, 2-3 minutes.
Add in vodka and cook it until evaporated.
Then add heavy cream and 1 tsp chili flakes. Keep stirring until combined and season to taste with salt and pepper.
If pasta is not done cooking yet, remove sauce from the heat.
When pasta is done cooking, add 1/2 cup reserved pasta water to the vodka sauce and 1 tbsp butter. Stir over medium heat until butter is melted and sauce is smooth and creamy - add another ¼ cup pasta water if needed.
Add strained pasta and ¼ cup parmesan cheese and stir. Remove from heat and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Garnish with fresh basil and more parmesan cheese if desired.
