A rich and creamy pasta dish with a perfect balance of spice and flavor, inspired by Gigi Hadid.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz Pasta (preferably penne or rigatoni)
  • 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • ½ cup Heavy cream (or coconut cream for a lighter option)
  • 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated (vegetarian variant if needed)
  • ¼ cup Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • To taste Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve a cup of the pasta water and drain the rest.
  2. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown. Sprinkle in the red pepper flakes and let them infuse their flavor for an additional 30 seconds.
  3. Stir in the tomato paste until well incorporated, then pour in the heavy cream. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 3-5 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and mix with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, incorporate a little of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
  5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt for a creamy texture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

Pairs well with a light salad or garlic bread. For more protein, consider adding grilled chicken or sautéed shrimp.
