When you see the gin, vermouth and olives in the recipe, it looks like I'm making a martini, says Rach. But, no—she's making dirty martini linguini! "It smells so extravagant and delightful," she says. "And it's such a simple, silly, fun dish, and it's so delicious."

Meanwhile, drop pasta and undercook it in generously salted water, 1 minute less than package directions. Reserve ½ cup water before draining. 

Add olives to sauce and stir a minute, then add gin, vermouth and olive brine and reduce. Add butter and pasta to sauce. Add parsley and use the starchy water, as needed.  

Cheers!
