"Classic spicy vodka rigatoni is such a glorious sight, beautifully orangey-red and glossy. That iconic look and luxurious texture sparked the idea for this dish. This pasta highlights the humble carrot by making it the star of the show and the base for a creamy, spicy, orange sauce. I like buying carrots with the tops attached for this to make a lovely herby topping to balance the richness of the pasta, but if you can't find them, this dish is still a stunner."
"Simply top with more pecorino Romano, black pepper, and olive oil to really lean into the vodka pasta vibe!"
Classic spicy vodka rigatoni is reimagined with carrots as the primary ingredient, producing a glossy, orangey-red sauce. Pureed or blended carrots form a creamy, spicy, orange base that mimics the traditional vodka sauce's color and texture. Carrot tops provide a fresh, herby garnish that cuts through the sauce's richness. The recipe recommends buying carrots with tops attached but notes the dish remains impressive without them. Finish options include extra pecorino Romano, cracked black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil to emphasize the vodka-pasta character. The result is a luxurious, vegetable-forward pasta that celebrates humble carrots.
