Instructions : Gigi Hadid Pasta Recipe
1. Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add penne pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta water before draining.
2. Make the Sauce Base
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots or onions and cook until soft, about 2–3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add Tomato Paste & Chili Flakes
Add the tomato paste and chili flakes to the skillet. Stir well and cook for about 3–4 minutes until the paste darkens and caramelizes.
4. Pour in Cream & Melt Butter
Lower the heat slightly, then add the heavy cream. Stir continuously to combine. Add the butter and let it melt into the sauce. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Combine Pasta & Sauce
Add the drained pasta into the skillet and toss to coat with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add 2–3 tablespoons of the reserved pasta water.
6. Add Parmesan & Garnish
Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. Top with chopped parsley or basil if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute the cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.
- To make it vegetarian, use vegetarian Parmesan.
- For added protein, serve with grilled chicken or shrimp.
- Adjust chili flakes to control spiciness.
