Ingredients

Scale

Gather these ingredients to make Gigi Hadid Pasta:

  • 12 oz pasta (penne or your favorite type)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice level)
  • 1 cup tomato paste
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chili oil (or more for extra heat)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
  • Parmesan cheese, grated (for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Pasta:

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water, and set aside.

Make the Creamy Tomato Sauce:

  1. Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  2. Add the Red Pepper Flakes: Stir in the red pepper flakes and cook for an additional 30 seconds, allowing the spices to infuse the oil.
  3. Incorporate the Tomato Paste: Add the tomato paste to the skillet, stirring to combine with the garlic and spices. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the tomato paste to deepen in flavor.
  4. Add the Cream and Mascarpone: Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream and mascarpone cheese to the skillet. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy, making sure the mascarpone melts completely.
  5. Adjust the Spice: Add the chili oil and mix well. If you prefer more heat, feel free to add additional chili oil or red pepper flakes.
  6. Season the Sauce: Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper as needed.

Combine Pasta and Sauce:

  1. Toss the Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the creamy tomato sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly, adding reserved pasta water a little at a time to thin the sauce if needed.
  2. Simmer and Coat: Let the pasta simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Serve and Garnish:

  1. Serve: Divide the pasta into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped basil and a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
