Rigatoni Alla Vodka
If you love a creamy pink sauce then this recipe is for you!
This recipe is a popular American style pasta, that was recently made even more famous by Gigi Hadid!
It is such a delicious pasta, if you are craving a pink sauce that isn’t too heavy. The main ingredients are tomato paste, vodka and cream and they come together beautifully to make a sauce that coats each piece of Rigatoni!
The vodka adds an element of flavour that you normally wouldn’t get from other ingredients, it adds an element of heat, but also helps balance the tomato and cream.
