I tried Gordon Ramsay's 10-minute scampi and angel hair pasta recipe.
The dish features shrimp, cherry tomatoes, lemon, and white wine — perfect summer flavors.

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 looks perfect for summer.

To get started, I brought a pot of water to boil for the pasta.

I also got my prep out of the way.

I also tried Ramsay's trick for chopping the basil.

It was time to get cooking, so I placed my nonstick pan over medium heat.

Once the two minutes were up, I added the cherry tomatoes to the pan.

Then, I deglazed the pan with white wine.

Once those 30 seconds were up, I added the vegetable stock.

While the sauce was reducing, I prepped my shrimp.

To cook the shrimp, I placed a second nonstick frying pan over high heat and added a drizzle of olive oil.

I also threw my angel hair pasta into the pot of boiling water.

Once my shrimp had turned golden brown, I removed my second pan from the heat and flipped each shrimp.

I drizzled some olive oil and sprinkled lemon zest over the shrimp, then added them to my pan with the sauce.

Once my pasta was ready, I drained it and returned it to the pan where I had cooked the shrimp.
