- Add red pepper flakes and tomato paste. Cook for about 2 minutes.
- Add heavy cream, vodka sauce, salt, and pepper. Lower the heat and simmer for about 10-15 minutes.
- Add butter to the sauce and let it melt. Combine the butter with the sauce.

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.
