Log in.Gordon Ramsay may have multiple Michelin stars, but he still loves whipping up simple dishes that require little time in the kitchen.
And Ramsay's quick pasta recipes haven't let me down yet. His 15-minute Bolognese has become one of my family's favorite dishes, and we also loved his 10-minute turkey and leek pasta, which Ramsay makes for his kids every week.
So, when I learned he had a 10-minute summer pasta recipe, I knew I had to try it.
This 10-minute scampi pasta by the "MasterChef" star looked perfect for summer. Gordon Ramsay's 10-minute scampi pasta is featured in his "Ramsay in 10" cookbook. NBC/Getty ImagesRamsay's shrimp scampi with angel hair pasta is featured in his cookbook "Ramsay in 10," which is full of recipes that can be made in 10 minutes.
When temperatures spike in the summertime, I never want to stand over a hot stove for too long, so a 10-minute pasta with some refreshing shrimp sounded like the perfect dish.
Ramsay's 10-minute pasta includes shrimp, cherry tomatoes, and a handful of basil. Ramsay's pasta also features white wine, shallots, and lemon. Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderTo make Ramsay's shrimp scampi with angel hair pasta for two, you'll need:
Ramsay says you can use any very fine pasta for this dish, including vermicelli, tagliolini, or spaghettini.
I should also note that I couldn't find banana shallots at my local supermarket. Since they're a bit larger than the regular variety, I just added an extra shallot while testing this recipe.
To get started, I brought a pot of water to boil for the pasta. Never forget to salt your pasta water! Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderI made sure to season the water with salt.
I also got my prep out of the way. My lemon zest. Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderPer Ramsay's instructions, I halved my cherry tomatoes, zested a lemon, minced my garlic, and peeled and sliced the shallots.
Don't throw away the rest of your lemon — you'll need its juice later on!
I also tried Ramsay's trick for chopping the basil. I chopped the basil and minced the garlic before cooking. Anneta Konstantinides/Business Insider"To chop the basil quickly, gather the small leaves and roll them up in the biggest leaf, like a cigar, then chop with a large knife," Ramsay writes in his cookbook.
It was time to get cooking, so I placed my nonstick pan over medium heat. Adding olive oil to the pan. Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderI added one tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and let it heat up.
Then, I added the shallots and garlic. I let the shallots and garlic cook together for two minutes. Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderI threw in the shallots first, seasoning them with salt and pepper.
After I added the garlic, I seasoned everything with a pinch of chili flakes and let the garlic and shallots cook together for two minutes.
Once the two minutes were up, I added the cherry tomatoes to the pan. Adding tomatoes to the pan. Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderI let the tomatoes cook for 30 seconds.
Then, I deglazed the pan with white wine. The wine is used to deglaze the pan. Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderRamsay says you should allow the wine to bubble for 30 seconds.
Once those 30 seconds were up, I added the vegetable stock. Adding vegetable stock to the pan. Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderI let the vegetable stock reduce in the pan for two minutes.
While the sauce was reducing, I prepped my shrimp. My peeled and seasoned shrimp. Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderI peeled the shrimp and seasoned them with salt and pepper.
Then, I added the capers and chopped basil to my sauce. My sauce looked so bright and colorful. Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderPer Ramsay's instructions, I then removed the pan from the heat.
I placed my shrimp in a nonstick frying pan over high heat, adding a drizzle of olive oil. Cooking my shrimp. Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderRamsay says the shrimp should cook for about 30 seconds, until they turn golden brown. Keep an eye on the color — it took my shrimp about a minute.
I also threw my angel hair pasta into the pot of boiling water. It only took a few minutes for my pasta to cook. Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderI cooked the pasta until it became al dente, which took about three minutes.
Once my shrimp had turned golden brown, I removed the pan from the heat and flipped each shrimp. My shrimp were ready! Anneta Konstantinides/InsiderThis allows the shrimp to finish cooking in the residual heat.
I drizzled olive oil and sprinkled lemon zest over the shrimp, then added them to my pan with the sauce. Mixing the shrimp with the sauce. Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderRamsay says you should return the pan to the heat to warm everything up.
I drained my cooked pasta and returned it to the pan where I had cooked the shrimp. The angel hair pasta in the pan where I had cooked the shrimp. Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderI added a drizzle of olive oil to the pasta and tossed it to combine.
I added the pasta back to the pan of sauce. The dish made my kitchen smell amazing. Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderI topped my finished pasta with Parmesan cheese, a squeeze of lemon juice, and some lemon zest.
The pasta smelled amazing, and I loved the bright pops of color — it looked like the perfect dinner for summer.
Ramsay's pasta tasted delicious, and I couldn't believe it had only taken 10 minutes. Gordon Ramsay's 10-minute scampi. Anneta Konstantinides/Business InsiderThere was a lovely lightness to Ramsay's 10-minute scampi that I always look for in a great summer dish. Even though the overall cooking time was shorter than my nightly skincare routine, the flavors were still complex and interesting. It tasted like an elevated version of Martha Stewart's famous one-pot pasta dish.
I should note that I found the angel hair to be a bit sticky and hard to mix, which means I probably overcooked it a little — so be careful when boiling your thin pasta. And next time, I'll add more chili flakes and tomatoes; they were my favorite part of the dish, and I loved their blistered texture.
I'll whip up Ramsay's 10-minute scampi again when I need something quick but delicious on a busy summer weeknight.
