Spicy Pasta

This dish, popularized by Gigi Hadid, takes its origins from the Italian Spicy Vodka Pasta, but with a twist! It’s a creamy, flavorful tomato-based sauce that comes together quickly and without the need for alcohol. With red pepper flakes, fresh garlic, and lots of parmesan cheese, it brings a balanced spice that delights. Perfect for impressing dinner guests or for a cozy night in, it’s super easy to prepare yet tastes like it took hours. Ready to give it a try?
