WE tend to assume that most celebrities have a personal chef ready to whip up scrumptious dishes for them 24/7.
But whilst it may be the case for some famous faces, there are also plenty of celebs who don't mind getting dirty in the kitchen – however, is their cooking any good?
To find out, one foodie, Emily Jade, decided to prepare some of the most viral pasta recipes those in showbiz swear by, including the famous vodka pasta sauce by supermodel Gigi Hadid.
Here's what she thought of each…
Gigi Hadid's Vodka Pasta
The creamy tomato and vodka-infused sauce is relatively easy to cook, as it contains ingredients you'll most likely find in your kitchen cupboard.
The 28-year-old shared the recipe a few years ago after falling pregnant with her first child – and back then, the star opted to go vodka-free.

½ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon vodka
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
225 grams of shells pasta
1 tablespoon butter

Steps
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil, garlic and onion. Cook until soft. Add tomato paste and cook until it appears slightly caramelised.

Meanwhile, cook pasta separately. When it's done, save 1/4 of the water before draining.
Add a chunk of butter and give it a good stir until it's melted.
Add past, as well as the pasta water, to the sauce. Add parmesan cheese and stir. Add more salt and pepper if necessary.
To serve, top it off with a sprinkling of parmesan and basil.
Since the simple recipe, which takes just minutes to whip up, took the internet by storm, Emily confessed she's made it ''so many times''.
''It's always just so good.''
And indeed, with a hearty dose of cream, parmesan, red chilli flakes it doesn't really get much better than that – and the food enthusiast rated it a 10/10.

Jennifer Aniston's take on Pasta Carbonara
Who doesn't love a hearty portion of pasta carbonara? Jennifer Aniston and ex hubby Justin Theroux certainly do – so much so they make it a few times a week.
But to make it more exciting, the duo have added their own take on the classic dinner staple – by using turkey bacon, as well a low-fat milk instead of cream, butter or oil.
Ingredients you will need
Gluten-free or regular spaghetti
4 slices turkey bacon, diced
1 small red onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg
⅓ cup low-fat milk
⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
Steps
Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta.
Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, add turkey bacon and red onion and cook until bacon is crisp and onions are slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Salt the boiling water generously, add pasta and cook until al dente, according to package directions.
Reserve ¾ cup of the pasta water and drain the rest.
Toss the hot pasta in the skillet with the turkey bacon.
In a bowl, whisk together egg, milk, and cheese. Add in about ½ cup of the hot pasta water – but whisk constantly to prevent the egg from scrambling.
Pour egg mixture in the skillet with pasta and toss to coat.
If it feels a little dry, add the remaining pasta water. Turn the heat on medium low and cook until sauce has thickened, about 1 minute.
Season with lots of black pepper and more salt, to taste.
Remove from heat and served with extra parmesan – the more, the better.
It's a classic you can never go wrong with – but how did the actress' take on it perform?
Emily, who swapped the bacon with a vegetarian-friendly 'meat' alternative, certainly couldn't get over how good the creamy dish came out.
''I love this, guys. I'm obsessed,'' she said in her video.
''All the Italians are gonna hate me, but, Jennifer, I love you.''
