Ingredients & Substitutions
Pasta: In Gigi Hadid original recipe, she used shell pasta so I used to same and realized the spicy pink sauce beautifully blended with pasta that makes it super scrumptious and presentable. Alternatively, use any other pasta that you have in your pantry as it will not compromise on taste. I love to make with penne, spaghetti and once tried with brown pasta.
Olive Oil: To make shiny pasta sauce, olive oil will play the big role. I used lesser quantity of oil as it was doubled in original recipe.
Onion: Used medium size purple-red onion which is more pungent and spicy than shallot.
Garlic: 1 clove of chopped garlic will add a garlicky taste in pasta sauce.
Tomato Pasta: Used thick tomato paste that will add nice pink color and make the sauce thick and consistent in texture.
Seasoning: Red chili flakes, salt and black pepper used to season the sauce.
Cream: To add a soft milky flavor and creamy consistency in sauce, heavy cream will play a big role. Add it in sauce at low flame and stir fast to blend with other ingredients.
Butter: Will add lubrication and make the lustrous look of pasta also help to dilute the strong taste of tomato paste in pasta sauce.
Pasta Water: Reserve pasta water during straining the boiled pasta. It will help to manage the consistency of pasta sauce.
Parmesan Cheese: Love the fruity and nutty taste of parmesan in pasta. Used machine grated parmesan.
Herb: Freshly chopped Basil is used in original recipe. Here I used chopped parsley to add a green touch that I feel looks stunning.
