Bloody Mary pasta. A delicious pasta dish inspired by the popular cocktail. This recipe combines the unbeatable traditional essentials with some extra flavor bombs. Plus, it’s ready in about 20 minutes and super versatile.

This speedy recipe combines the beloved bloody Mary flavors with pasta. This version has all of the traditional essentials like tomato, celery, vodka and a few drippings of Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco, as well as some additions. It’s so delicious when turned into a rich tomato sauce, together with your favorite pasta shapes. It’s a perfect combination of tangy and spicy.

It takes just 20 minutes from start to finish and you’ll be rewarded with a rich pasta dinner that’s deep in flavor. This is because the vodka helps to enhance the other flavors.

It’s a great fast weeknight dinner, but also fancy and delicious enough to serve at a dinner party or on your next date night. A Bloody Mary makes for a killer pasta sauce!
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.

Ingredients You Need For This Killer Pasta

  • Onion, garlic and celery stalks: Essential to infuse the sauce with flavor. Mince those especially finely to keep the sauce’s texture smooth rather than chunky, you could also pulse them until very finely chopped in your food processor.
  • Seasoning: Salt, black pepper, oregano and sugar.
  • Tomato paste: To get a super-tomatoey flavor, we sauté the paste until it’s blushed several shades deeper and to caramelize the sugars.
  • Vodka: This one doesn’t just deglaze the skillet, it gives a sharpness and a sweetness to the sauce that helps to enhance the tomato flavor. I used 1/4 cup of vodka, but you can always add more, up to 1/2 cup.
  • Puréed tomatoes: For a thicker, smoother sauce. Try not to use crushed tomatoes, as they are chunkier.
  • Tabasco and Worcestershire: The classic add-ins for a spicy and savory flavor.
  • Pasta: Use linguine, spaghetti or any of your favorite pasta shapes.

RECIPE NOTES

  • If you’d like to add protein to this dish, then cooked shrimp, bacon bits, seared salmon or grilled chicken are a wonderful addition. 
  • This is not a super spicy pasta sauce, you can always add more Tabasco or serve some chili flakes on the side for those who like it.
  • Serve with some crusty bread and a big leafy salad drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
  • Make ahead: You can make the sauce 1 day ahead of time, then reheat and toss with pasta of your choice.
  • Storage: Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
