I tried Gordon Ramsay's 10-minute pasta, which he makes for his family every week.
The dish has a turkey and leek sauce and is topped with crispy sage breadcrumbs.

From his 15-minute tagliatelle Bolognese to his 10-minute bacon cheeseburger, Gordon Ramsay has never let me down when I need a fast recipe.

So, I was ecstatic when I learned that the Michelin-starred chef has an entire cookbook dedicated to dishes that can be made in 10 minutes flat.

I'm always looking for quick and easy dishes to save time during the busy workweek, so I knew I had to try one. Here's how it all went down.
