5-Ingredient VEGAN VODKA PASTA (Gigi Hadid's Pasta Recipe but Vegan & Gluten-Free!)

coconut cream

🥗Healthier: cashew cream

💰Cheaper: silken tofu

Cashew cream is lower in calories and provides a similar creamy texture.

vodka

🥗Healthier: non-alcoholic vodka

💰Cheaper: white grape juice

White grape juice offers a sweet flavor without the alcohol.

Boil water in a large saucepan and season with salt and olive oil.

Cook gluten-free penne pasta according to the box instructions, usually 1-2 minutes less than al dente, then drain and set aside.

Mince 3 fresh garlic cloves and add them to the same pot used to boil the pasta with some olive oil.

Bring the pot to medium-high heat and stir to prevent the garlic from burning.

Add 1 tablespoon of dried red pepper flakes for spice (optional).

Add 1 6-ounce can of tomato paste and stir continuously until it loosens up and the taste of the paste cooks off.

After a few minutes, add 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper to taste.

Pour in 1 can of unsweetened coconut milk and mix until well combined.

Add the cooked pasta back into the sauce and ensure it's well incorporated.

Top off with additional red crushed pepper flakes and black pepper before serving.
