It’s not only bursting with flavor but also super easy to whip up, which makes it a perfect option for a weeknight meal or a cozy dinner with friends. Plus, the creamy tomato sauce will have everyone asking for seconds!
Nutritional Benefits of this Dish
One of the best things about this spicy pasta is that it’s not just delicious—it’s also a great way to pack in some nutrients! The tomatoes are rich in antioxidants, while the pasta gives you a nice energy boost. If you’re looking to up the health factor even more, you can use whole grain or lentil pasta for added fiber!
Fun Variations to Try
- Veggie Lovers Unite: Add in some sautéed spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers for an extra dose of veggies.
- Make it Vegan: Substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream or a cashew cream for a plant-based option.
- Protein Boost: If you’re a meat lover, feel free to toss in some grilled chicken or shrimp for that protein punch!
Gigi Hadid’s Spicy Pasta Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 oz pasta (your choice)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

- Add the drained pasta to the sauce, tossing everything together until well coated.

Practical Tips for Success
- Don’t forget to reserve some pasta water before draining; it can help loosen the sauce if it gets too thick!
