How To Make Vegan Dirty Martini Pasta
A Dirty Martini is a classic cocktail made with vodka or gin, dry vermouth, and olive brine, typically garnished with olives. Taking inspiration from this cocktail, a Dirty Martini Pasta is a pasta dish that incorporates these flavors.
“This is like, if you took a dirty martini and made it into a pasta,” says TikTok creator @legallyhealthyblonde, who created the recipe.”I know I’m not the only one obsessed with dirty martinis and obsessed with pasta, and so I am trusting this going to find the right people.”
I’m so excited to share my tasty vegan version of this incredible dirty martini pasta recipe!
