While we first encountered Gordon Ramsay's Ultimate Cookery Course during the early days of the pandemic, the 15-minute tagliatelle with sausage Bolognese recipe has remained a beloved choice. This dish, composed of dried tagliatelle pasta, sausage (preferably fennel or Sicilian), tomatoes, half an onion, and garlic, requires minimal preparation and minimal cooking time.

I begin by chopping onions, garlic, and parsley, followed by preparing the sausage by removing its casing and crumbling the meat. As the pasta cooks in a pot of salted boiling water, I sauté the onions until they're soft before adding the remaining ingredients. Ramsay advises letting the garlic and onions sweat before incorporating the meat, which I do by breaking down the sausage with a spatula while mixing everything together.

Seasoning the dish with salt and pepper, I add chopped tomatoes alongside a can of crushed tomatoes to enhance both the flavor and texture of the Bolognese sauce. Allowing the sauce to simmer while my pasta reaches al dente perfection, I incorporate the cooked pasta into the pan, adjusting the sauce with pasta water as needed for desired thickness. Finally, I garnish the dish with parsley and grated Parmesan, creating a comforting and rich meal that has become a weekly favorite in our home.
