I tried Gordon Ramsay's favorite 10-minute pasta, and now I know why he makes it every week
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. Ramsay's delicious pasta was light and bright — perfect for a midweek pick-me-up. From his 15-minute 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 recipes to save time during the busy workweek, so I knew I had to try this pasta dish. Gordon Ramsay makes this 10-minute pasta for his family every week. This turkey and leek pasta with crispy sage breadcrumbs is featured in " Ramsay in 10," which came out in October 2021. "For a change, skip the Bolognese and make this creamy turkey and leek sauce in a fraction of the time instead," Ramsay writes in the description. "It might just become a regular midweek family meal, as it has at my house." Ramsay's 10-minute pasta includes turkey, breadcrumbs, and leeks. To make Ramsay's 10-minute pasta for four, you'll need: 17 ounces of fresh penne or fusilli pasta 14 ounces of ground turkey ¾ cup of heavy cream 4 sage leaves 4 regular shallots (or 2 banana shallots) 3 garlic cloves 2 leeks 1 lemon A handful of flat-leaf parsley leaves Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (for serving) To make the breadcrumbs for the pasta, you'll need: 6 tablespoons of fresh breadcrumbs 2 sage leaves 2 tablespoons of olive oil Ramsay notes in his cookbook that the breadcrumbs are optional, but I recommend taking the extra step. It was my first time making fresh breadcrumbs, and it couldn't have been easier. But feel free to play around with the ingredients depending on your preferences. Ramsay said this dish also works great with ground chicken or sausage meat; the sage can easily be swapped for thyme, parsley, or tarragon; and any shape of fresh or dried pasta will do. Before I started cooking, I needed to prep. First, I brought a saucepan of salted water to a boil so it'd be ready for the pasta in a few minutes. Then, per Ramsay's recipe, I peeled and grated my shallots and garlic. If the handheld grater proves tricky — and risky for your fingers — feel free to use a knife to finish mincing the veggies. After grating my shallots and garlic, I finely sliced my leeks. I should note that Ramsay recommends prepping your shallots and garlic while the olive oil is heating up in the pan and slicing your leeks right before you add the pasta. But I'm quite slow at chopping veggies, so I got my prep out of the way first so I wouldn't be stressed about burning anything. I also let my leek slices soak in a bowl of cold water to ensure they were fully clean. The recipe took me a tad longer than 10 minutes, but if you're confident in your chopping speed, feel free to take Ramsay's lead. I also prepped my fresh breadcrumbs. I placed my Dutch oven over medium-high heat and added two tablespoons of olive oil. Then, I added my shallots and garlic to the pan. I allowed the shallots and garlic to cook for two minutes, stirring regularly. If you don't have a Dutch oven handy, Ramsay notes that this recipe also works with a heavy-based frying pan or a skillet. Once the two minutes were up, I threw in the sage leaves and turkey. I broke the turkey up with a wooden spoon and allowed it to cook for three to four minutes, until the meat was lightly browned. While the turkey was cooking, I added my leeks to the boiling water. Then, I threw in the penne. I stirred to separate the pasta and allowed the penne to cook until it was al dente. Since I chose penne, my pasta didn't cook in the speedy two minutes Ramsay recommends for fusilli. But just follow the instructions on your box and the noodles will taste great. While my pasta was cooking, I added the cream to my turkey in the other pan. I reduced the sauce to a simmer until I was ready to serve. Then, I moved on to the crispy sage breadcrumbs. I placed a frying pan over medium heat and drizzled some olive oil. Then, I added two sage leaves, which I had finely chopped. I cooked the breadcrumbs until they were crisp and golden brown. This happens very quickly, so make sure to watch the pan carefully so they don't burn. I drained my pasta and leeks and added the penne to the sauce. Then, I added the finely chopped parsley leaves, along with some lemon zest. I topped everything off with the sage breadcrumbs. After I added the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and drizzle of olive oil that Ramsay recommends, I stepped back and admired my pasta. The dish looked bright and inviting, thanks to the pops of color from the parsley and breadcrumbs, and I loved seeing so many different textures meld together. Plus, it smelled absolutely delicious. It was time to dig in. Ramsay's 10-minute pasta took me a couple of extra minutes, but the final result was worth it. I don't usually go for poultry with my pasta, so I was skeptical when making the turkey sauce. But I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved Ramsay's pasta. The turkey and leek sauce is light but packed with so much flavor. The leeks add a hint of lovely sweetness, and the lemon brightens each bite. The contrasting textures of the crispy sage breadcrumbs and the creamy sauce also make a fantastic team. I don't usually crave a big meal on a weeknight, so I love that this pasta makes dinner interesting without being too heavy. Whether you're longing for a quick weeknight dish or just want a light and bright recipe, Ramsay's favorite 10-minute pasta will satisfy all your cravings.

Carbone Riviera Opens at Bellagio Las Vegas With Yacht Rides and Fountain Views
For the first time in Bellagio's history, visitors will be able to board a yacht and glide across the lake where its famed fountains have become a symbol of the Las Vegas Strip. Bellagio will launch the new powerboat experience near Carbone Riviera, a new restaurant from one of New York's most influential dining groups, opening this fall in the storied Picasso space. Carbone — created by Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi, and Jeff Zalaznick — first arrived in Las Vegas a decade ago with a location at Aria. It quickly became one of the city's toughest reservations, known as much for its spicy rigatoni vodka and veal Parmesan as for its throwback glamour and celebrity appeal. Carbone Riviera marks a new chapter for the brand, one with a sharper focus on seafood. Developed in partnership between Major Food Group and MGM Resorts International, the restaurant will feature a centerpiece display showcasing Dungeness and king crab, oysters, langoustines, ricci di mare sea urchins, and razor clams sprawled over ice. Daily flown-in seafood will support whole-fish preparations like salt-baked branzino and grilled Dover sole. Signature Carbone dishes — including spicy lobster meatballs and spicy rigatoni vodka — will also appear on the menu, along with a decadent two-pound lobster pasta. Carbone Riviera is moving into Picasso, chef Julian Serrano's legendary restaurant that overlooked the Fountains of Bellagio for 25 years before closing in May of 2024. The dining room was celebrated for its lush design and valanced windows, refined French cooking, and walls adorned with paintings by the namesake artist. Part of the redesign includes the luxury Riva mini yacht. The 33-foot-long open powerboat will board near the restaurant and offer diners an entirely new way to experience the fountains — up close, on the water. A representative for the group says there will be a hospitality element to the cruise, though it's still unclear whether that will include dining on board. Carbone Riviera will join other big-name talent that borders the lake, with neighbors like Wolfgang Puck's Spago, Jean-Georges Vongerichten's Prime Steakhouse, Julian Serrano's Lago, and fellow New York darling, Le Cirque. It's also the fourth Vegas restaurant for Major Food Group, joining Parm at Aria and Sadelle's at Bellagio. It's one thing to watch the Fountains at Bellagio from the table. It's another to sail past them on your way to it.
