Gigi Hadid’s Instagram highlights are full of fun and easy recipes that are so tasty. Not only is she a talented and beautiful person, but an amazing cook! Her vodka pasta recipe can be found all over tiktok, and it is my personal favorite of the recipes she has posted. This dish took me less than thirty minutes to make, and it tasted amazing. The only thing is that her portions were a little too big. She posted the portion size for two, but I think that it is plenty for a four person meal. I paired the pasta with some steamed broccoli and topped it with fresh basil and parmesan cheese. I hope you enjoy it!
