"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 using carrots as the base for a creamy, spicy orange sauce that produces an iconic orangey-red, glossy appearance and luxurious texture. The humble carrot becomes the star ingredient and forms the flavor and color foundation of the sauce. Using carrots with tops attached allows the tops to be transformed into a fresh, herbaceous topping that cuts through the pasta's richness. The dish remains impressive without carrot tops and can be finished simply with additional Pecorino Romano, freshly cracked black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil to emphasize the vodka-pasta character.
