1/2 cup olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 red onion or shallot

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

You’re going to need a large pot for cooking the pasta and a heavy-bottomed skillet.

Fill a large pot with water and bring to a full rolling boil and cook pasta until al dente, according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
NOTE: YOU WILL BE RESERVING 1 cup of the pasta water once the pasta is done cooking.
Heat olive oil over medium heat in heavy-bottomed skillet. Add shallots (or red onions) and sauté for one minute.
Add in the minced garlic and sauté for one to two minutes. Depending on the type of frying pan that you use, you need to closely watch the heat and ensure that the onions and garlic do not burn!
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for five minutes, stirring constantly. It’s going to look a little dark and caramelized at this point.
Turn the heat down a little and whisk in the vodka. Allow the vodka cook down for two minutes.
Stir in the heavy cream. Taste and season with salt, pepper and add in the red pepper flakes. If it’s bubbling too much, turn the heat down a little.
Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Gradually stir in the reserved pasta water.
Stir in the butter, followed by the cooked, drained pasta.
To serve, garnish with fresh parsley or chopped basil leaves and freshly grated Parmesan cheese and enjoy!

Notes

To make Gigi Hadid Pasta Recipe without vodka – add in one additional cup of water from the cooked pasta.

Storage & Reheating Instructions: Store cooled leftovers in covered airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

To reheat, add a splash of milk, heavy cream or simply water to the pasta and reheat in microwave for a few minutes until the right temperate.

You can also reheat it in a skillet over the stove on low-medium heat with the same method as I mentioned above.
