Gordon Ramsay’s Tagliatelle Recipe Ingredients

• 400g tagliatelle
• 3 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 fresh chili, chopped
• Salt, to taste
• 1 chicken bouillon cube (optional)
• Chili flakes (optional)
• Optional: lemon zest or parsley to finish

How To Make Gordon Ramsay’s Tagliatelle

1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle and cook until al dente. Just before draining, reserve about ½ cup of the starchy pasta water.
2. Sauté the aromatics: While the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a wide pan over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and stir for 1–2 minutes until softened and fragrant, but not browned.
3. Build the sauce: Add the fresh chili and chili flakes to the pan and stir for 30 seconds. Add the bouillon cube (if using) and a splash of the reserved pasta water. Stir until the bouillon has completely dissolved.
4. Toss and serve: Add the drained pasta to the pan with the sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated, adding more pasta water if needed to create a light, glossy sauce. Turn off the heat, finish with a sprinkle of lemon zest or fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Recipe Tips

• How do I get the pasta evenly coated? The key is to use a wide pan or skillet. This gives you more room to toss the pasta, ensuring that every strand gets evenly coated in the buttery garlic and chili sauce.
• How do I keep the butter sauce from breaking? After you toss the pasta in the sauce, finish the dish with the heat turned off. This prevents the butter from getting too hot and separating or “breaking,” and it also keeps the garlic from burning.
• How can I elevate this simple dish? A little fresh lemon zest stirred in at the very end is a game-changer. It cuts through the richness of the butter and brightens up the entire dish, making it feel refreshing.
• Can I make a big batch of this pasta? This recipe is at its best when made in small quantities, for one or two servings at a time. Trying to scale it up can make it difficult to properly coat the pasta and maintain the simple, elegant vibe of the dish.

What To Serve With Tagliatelle

This simple pasta is a fantastic light meal on its own. It also pairs wonderfully with:

• A simple arugula salad with a lemon vinaigrette
• A side of grilled shrimp or a pan-seared chicken breast
• Warm, crusty garlic bread
• A glass of crisp white wine like a Pinot Grigio

How To Store Tagliatelle

Refrigerate: This dish is best enjoyed immediately. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat: Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat with a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce and prevent the pasta from drying out.
