It took off at a time when everyone was quarantined and in lockdowns. So, we were all looking for some food inspo. We were all also looking to fill our time with something, pretty much anything lol. A lot of celebrities shared some intimate and interesting things with us during lockdown. This is one of those things that really took off. It’s easy to make and family-friendly.

Gigi hadid pasta was soooo good. I have made this twice already this week 🙌🏻
Gia says
Great alternative I’m prepping everything to make it now, but I feel the need to let you know that when preparing traditional vodka sauce the alcohol content is burned/cooked off leaving only the flavor. Your children would be perfectly safe!
Lama says
Thank you so much Gia for letting me know. This is useful information for myself and others that visit this blog post.
Laya says
Made this for lunch today and it exceeded my expectations – so much flavor! This Gigi Hadid Viral Pasta Recipe would also be a perfect side dish to compliment any main course.Thank you for sharing these delicious recipes, Lama!
Lama says
Hey!! my pleasure 🙂 Happy you enjoyed this popular recipe!
Lintang says
Thank you so much for the recipe!
I misread and used 2tbs of chilli flakes instead of 2tsp lol. It wasn’t that spicy for me who loves spicy food, so all good!
I also added mushrooms. Yums.
One question though, is the dish supposed to be really oily? Or is it because I used coconut oil instead of olive oil…
Lama says
LOL oh no! I wouldn’t mind all that spice either 🙂 coconut oil contains the higher levels of saturated fats compared to olive oil so that is why plus the added butter and cheese add more fat. Next time if you want to use coconut oil, try adding less (maybe by half the amount) so that it is not as oily!
Eva says

Casie says
Hi there,
When you say (some add Vodka) in the instructions, is that in addition to the pasta water or in place of?
Lama says
Hi! That is in addition to the pasta water since it would only be a tablespoon of vodka if you decide to add it in. Add it in with the pasta water, butter, whipping cream ect 🙂 Let me know if you have any other questions!
Brenda says
Thank you for the video. I’m a visual learner and this helps so much. So tasty

Mila says
Wow! This pasta is amazing! My kids enjoyed it and so did my husband. Will be making this again. Thanks 😍
Lama says
This makes me so happy! 🙂
Marshal says
When cooking with alcohol, the alcohol gets neutralized by the heat so it leaves flavor not the drunk effect. Its fine to no wanna cook with it, i dont feel like it but just know its not going to harm anyone
Lama says
Hello there! Yes 🙂 I am aware that the alcohol goes through a chemical change. Thank you so much for that info since some don’t know this.
Ceylan says

Amy says
Thoughts on adding ground Italian sausage?
My daughter is going to try this recipe & she’s wanting to try it with sausage. 🙂
Lama says
Hi Amy, the addition of proteins is highly encouraged with this pasta! Yes, Go for it!
RashaFarid says
Do you actually believe that anyone can get tipsy on vodka sauce? The alcohol evaporates with cooking.
Lama says
Ofcourse not, totally being sarcastic.
Fey says
