Gigi Hadid Made An Amazing Vodka Sauce Pasta On Her Instagram Stories — Here's The Recipe

Shortly after news came out that our favorite supermodel, Gigi Hadid, was pregnant with long-time boyfriend Zayn Malik, she retreated to her Instagram stories to make our favorite comfort food: pasta.

I'm usually not one to give in to celebrity Instagram recipes, but honestly? This one looked so good, I couldn't resist. Plus, you might remember that the girl won "Celebrity MasterChef" once upon a time. If she's good enough not to get cursed out of Gordon Ramsay's kitchen, who am I to brush off her recipe?

This wasn't a typical vodka sauce (she didn't use vodka in her version, of course). It was filled with cream, butter, and cheese — the holy trinity of good Italian cooking. Unfortunately, I'm lactose-intolerant, so I made a few adjustments. But even then, the recipe was delicious. I doubled the recipe and also made it gluten-free for my celiac-ridden family one evening and we all agreed it was the best pasta we've ever had, so I can't even imagine what Gigi's OG version tastes like.

Personally, I'm blind as a bat. So, if you're an expert at zooming in on screenshots, then be my guest. Personally, I had to write everything down on a piece of paper. So if you're anything like me, this will be of great use:


Ingredients:

(Serves 2)

- 1/4 cup olive oil

- 1/4 cup shallot

- 1 clove garlic

- 1/4 cup tomato paste

- 1/2 cup heavy cream (substitute unsweetened oat milk or cashew milk —make sure to read ingredient labels for hidden sugar — for dairy-free version)

- red pepper flakes to taste

- 1 tbsp vodka

- 1 tbsp butter (substitute vegan butter for dairy-free version)

- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese (substitute nutritional yeast for dairy-free version)

- half box desired pasta (she used shells, I used gluten-free brown rice pasta)

Recipe:

1. While cooking pasta in a separate pot, start a separate pan large enough to hold all pasta and sauce when the recipe is complete.

2. In it, heat up the olive oil, diced clove of garlic, and shallot (onions work too, like Gigi mentions) till they're all soft.

3. Add in the tomato paste and cook till it gets darker and the onions caramelize.

4. Stir in the vodka, and cook it till it evaporates. (She skipped this step.)

5. Stir in the heavy cream. (This is where I put in oat milk.)

6. Add in your desired amount of red pepper flakes. She used 1 tsp but my family enjoys spice, so I put in nearly 4 tbsps.

7. By now, your pasta should be done cooking. Before straining it, use a ladle or spoon to take out about 1/4 cup of pasta water to add to your sauce mixture.

8. Strain pasta and add it to the sauce along with 1 tbsp of (vegan) butter.

9. Stir in parmesan cheese or nutritional yeast and add salt and pepper to taste. Mine honestly didn't need any after this.

Trust me, there won't be leftovers.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
