As a pasta lover, I have tried endless online pasta recipes. But I gravitate towards Gordon Ramsay’s 10-Minutes Pasta recipe because it is easy to follow, has proteins and veggies, and the sauce, which is prepared from scratch, is something I have never tasted.

Expert Tips That I Recommend
- I like to store the pasta water before adding it to the final dish. This helps elevate the flavours and adds all that starch from the boiled pasta.
- So you might have heard many pasta chefs suggesting you take your pasta until al dente. But what exactly is al dente? Well, take your pasta and try to cut it with a knife and fork. Al dente pasta will be tender in the centre yet firm on the outside. Hence, just before your pasta reaches its full potential, you must stop cooking since it is called al dente at this stage. Keep a close eye on your pasta when making it for the first time, and you will make it ideally.
- With pasta recipes, I like it to be al dente because it will be cooking when you add it to the pan. So, ensure you are not cooking it entirely, or you will be left with soggy and mushy pasta.
- A tip with pasta is to add it to boiling water. This will allow your pasta to twirl around in the water without sticking together.
- Since this is a high-heat recipe, I do not mince my garlic too finely, as it can burn quickly in the pan.
- This may sound like a basic tip, but most of the time, your pasta does not taste delicious because you are using the incorrect-sized pots and pans. Try to use a big pan and pot to toss and twirl everything properly.
- This dish is highly versatile, so you do not have to follow the recipe’s rules. You can make it spicier or tangy as you like.
- An important tip for this recipe is not to add all the pasta at once. Add it gradually so that the pasta has time to absorb the flavours.

- Gluten-Free Diet: If you follow a gluten-free diet, you can also make this in a gluten-free style. To do so, simply use gluten-free pasta for this recipe.
Storing & Reheating this Recipe
Storing
- Countertop: Once my Gordon Ramsay 10-Minute Pasta is ready, I do not leave it on the countertop for more than half an hour. Beyond this, the taste will be altered, and there is also a high risk of it getting spoiled.
- Refrigeration: I like to refrigerate my leftover Gordon Ramsay 10-Minute Pasta by allowing it to cool down completely. Then, I add it to an airtight container and store it for 3-4 days.
- Freezing: Ideally, I do not like to freeze Gordon Ramsay’s 10-Minute Pasta because the texture of the pasta and the tuna is very risky. However, you can freeze it for a month in airtight freezer-friendly bags. To keep the process hassle-free, I would suggest freezing it by eating portions in separate containers so that other frozen containers are not affected while reheating.
Reheating
- Skillet: I like to reheat Gordon Ramsay’s 10-Minute Pasta in a skillet because it is easy. I add the leftovers to the skillet and heat them on medium heat. You can also add some butter, stock, or water to prevent the Pasta from completely drying out.
- Microwave: Small portions of Gordon Ramsay 10 Minute Pasta can be easily reheated in the microwave. I do this by transferring the leftovers to a microwave-friendly bowl. Then I cover it with a paper towel or aluminium foil. Add water to prevent your Gordon Ramsay 10 Minute Pasta from drying out. Finally, heat it at medium heat for 20-30 seconds. Give it a nice stir once done and follow it up with a 10-second increment if you need to heat it more.
What To Serve With This Recipe
After your Gordon Ramsay 10-Minute Pasta is ready, you can serve it with a salad. However, you can also enjoy it solely with a sip of Coffee or refreshing drink on the side.
However,if you want to make this more filling, have Mashed Potatoes on the side. The creamy texture of the potatoes really complements the texture of the pasta. To keep the Italian flavours alive, you can also have it with Bruschetta on the side.
With any pasta recipe, you can always go for a crusty bread, and Garlic Bread is always my top choice. If you are not a fan of garlic bread, then have it with roasted veggies or asparagus and call it a day.
