How to make Gigi Hadid's famous spicy vodka pasta:

When Gigi first shared her now-famous spicy vodka pasta recipe, she shared each step through a series of Instagram Stories, which can be viewed here. While many were able to follow the recipe despite its unconventional format, we condensed Gigi's recipe into a more simpler format.

Here are the ingredients you'll need:

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 small clove of garlic, diced
• 1 small shallot, diced
• 1/4 cup tomato paste
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon vodka
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 16-18 oz (225g) pasta shells
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese
• Chopped basil
• Salt and pepper for taste

Directions:

• In a large saucepan, add the olive oil, garlic, and shallot to cook until soft.
• Now, add the tomato paste to the saucepan and cook until the sauce is darker and a bit caramelized.
• Next, add 1 tablespoon of vodka and cook until it almost evaporates (This is optional, of course!).
• Add 1/2 cup of heavy cream to the pan and 1 teaspoon of chili flakes (If you like it hotter, feel free to add more flakes).
• Mix in salt and pepper for taste.
• When you're done, remove the sauce from the heat.

• After making the sauce, cook the pasta following the package's instructions.
• Once the pasta is cooked, make sure to set aside 1/4 cup of pasta water for later before draining it.
• Now, return to your saucepan and add in the cooked pasta, the 1/4 cup of reserved pasta water, and 1 tablespoon of butter.
• Stir over medium heat until the butter has melted and the sauce is as Gigi wrote, "sauccyyyyy."
• Next, add 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and continue to stir.
• Taste the sauce and mix in more salt and pepper if needed.

Last, but not least, top the pasta with parmesan cheese and chopped basil. Yum!
