Spicy Vodka Rigatoni

This Spicy Vodka Rigatoni from Adam D’Sylva is the kind of pasta that stops conversation the moment it hits the table. Creamy, fiery, and impossibly silky, it takes a handful of simple ingredients and transforms them into a sauce that clings beautifully to every piece of rigatoni. The vodka adds that signature smoothness, the chilli brings the heat, and the cream ties it all together in a glossy, luxurious finish.

Adam’s version leans into bold flavour without losing balance—rich but not heavy, spicy yet still comforting. It’s the perfect weeknight indulgence, quick to make but impressive enough to serve for guests. Every bite delivers that irresistible mix of warmth, depth, and velvety texture that makes this dish a modern classic.

A crowd-pleasing pasta with attitude, crafted with unmistakable chef flair.
