Notes

  • To Make Gigi Hadid Pasta without Vodka: simply omit the vodka and follow the rest of the instructions.
  • If you don’t want to use heavy cream, you can use regular milk. Note that your pasta won’t be as creamy.
  • Make sure to cook your pasta until al dente, as you’ll cook it more with the sauce.
  • Skip the red pepper flakes for a non-spicy Gigi Hadid pasta.
  • Gigi Hadid used shell pasta in the original recipe, but you can use any type you like such as penne or macaroni.
  • If you’d like to make it vegan, use soy milk instead of heavy cream. You’ll also need to use vegan butter.
