I put Gigi Hadid’s Vodka Pasta to the test!
1 clove garlic, sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
8 oz rigatoni pasta, cooked and drained
½ cup pasta water
2 tbsp olive oil
2 chicken thighs, cut up into small pieces
4-5 garlic cloves, minced
½ a shallot, minced
½ cup mushrooms, sliced
2 tbsp sun dried tomatoes, sliced
1/4 cup tomato paste
2 tablespoons vodka
1/4 cup heavy cream
½ cup whole milk
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
1 cup spinach
salt and pepper to taste
pepper flakes (optional)
In a pan on medium high, add a drizzle of olive oil and cook the chicken on each side for 4-5 minutes until cooked through. Remove and transfer to a plate.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and shallots. Cooked until golden brown and then add the garlic. Cook for a minute then add mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes.
After a minute or so, add the tomato paste and let it caramelize a bit, turning a darkish red color. Add a sprinkle of pepper flakes, the vodka and stir.
Now add the cream and milk and stir some more until it becomes a nice saucy sauce.
Add the cooked rigatoni and chicken back in and simmer for a few minutes to heat through.
Add the spinach, parmesan, salt and pepper, mix well and serve. Enjoy!
