When it comes to making pasta, there's no recipe I love more than Gordon Ramsay's tagliatelle with sausage-meat bolognese.
I recently discovered the simple and delicious dish while watching "Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course."
The recipe requires just a few ingredients and only takes 15 minutes to make.
Ramsay's pasta dish is super comforting and reminds me of my favorite Italian restaurant.

From Ina Garten's broccoli and bow ties to a Michelin-starred chef's favorite spaghetti alla carbonara, I've made quite a lot of pasta over these last few months.

But when it comes to picking a favorite, there's no dish I've loved more than Gordon Ramsay's tagliatelle with sausage-meat bolognese.

While I'm no pro in the kitchen, Ramsay's simple and delicious dish makes me feel like on "MasterChef."

And with just a couple of ingredients and steps, the foolproof pasta is ready in 15 minutes and tastes like it came from my favorite Italian restaurant.

Ramsay's pasta requires five main ingredients.

I always start this dish by chopping onions, garlic, and parsley.

Since I don't often use cherry tomatoes like Ramsay recommends, I always dice mine instead of halving them.

Before I start cooking, I also prep my sausage for the sauce.

After putting my pasta into a pot of well-salted boiling water, I throw my onions into a pan.

Then I add the sausage and use a spatula to break down the chunks of meat while mixing everything together.

After the sausage meat has browned, I throw in the chopped tomatoes and a can of crushed tomatoes.

While the sauce simmers, I check to see if my pasta is al dente yet.

Then I add two ladlefuls of pasta water to the sauce and take it off the heat while my noodles finish cooking.

Once the pasta is ready, I drain it and throw my pappardelle into the pan so I can mix it all up in that delicious bolognese sauce.

To finish, I'll grate fresh cheese over the top before digging in.

I love whipping up this pasta on weeknights. Anneta Konstantinides/Insider
