We've seen the rise of dirty martini salads<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0dirty martini deviled eggs, for instance. So dirty martini pasta just makes sense\u2014and we knew we'd have to try it.\r\n

What is dirty martini pasta?<\/h2>\r\nDirty martini pasta, while it has a catchy name and uses the elements of a classic dirty martini cocktail, has its basis in fairly traditional pasta recipes. I don't think an Italian grandma would get too angry with this American take. Olive, lemon, garlic, parsley, oil and butter are all classic pasta ingredients. Crumbled blue cheese may be a bit of a twist, but this is a solid recipe and the result is delicious.\r\n

How to Make Dirty Martini Pasta<\/h2>\r\n\"Overhead\r\n\r\nI've expanded the original TikTok recipe<\/a> here to serve four people. I've also turned up the volume on the flavors a bit by using more butter, garlic and lemon than the original. For olives, green varieties like Castelvetrano or Manzanilla work best. Be sure to save the olive brine for cooking. Crumbled blue cheese brings great funky flavor to this recipe.\r\n
