From his 15-minute tagliatelle Bolognese to his 10-minute bacon cheeseburger, Gordon Ramsay has never let Business Insider's Anneta Konstantinides down when she needs a fast recipe.

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

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

In his cookbook, "Ramsay in 10," which came out in October 2021, Ramsay features a turkey and leek pasta with crispy sage breadcrumbs.

"For a change, skip the bolognese and make this creamy turkey and leek sauce in a fraction of the time instead," he wrote. "It might just become a regular midweek family meal, as it has at my house."

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 after trying the pasta myself, Konstantinides recommends taking this extra step. It was her first time making fresh breadcrumbs, and it couldn't have been easier.

First, Konstantinides 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, she peeled and grated her 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.

Konstantinides simply tore two slices of bread into pieces and threw them into the food processor, saving the leftovers she didn't need for the recipe.

Konstantinides placed her Dutch oven over medium-high heat and added two tablespoons of olive oil. Then, she added my shallots and garlic to the pan.

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, Konstantinides threw in the sage leaves and turkey.

She 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, Konstantinides added my leeks to the boiling water.

Then, she threw in the penne. She stirred to separate the pasta and allowed the penne to cook until it was al dente. Since Konstantinides chose penne, her 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.
