If you want to make pasta but with a twist, I suggest you try Gordon Ramsay’s mushroom pasta. In addition to mushrooms, you’ll find leeks and tarragon in the pasta. Also, the twist is that instead of the regular pasta like spaghetti or penne, Gordon Ramsay uses lasagna sheets. Unusual, I know!
According to Ramsay, the lasagna sheets, even though an unusual choice, go great with this recipe. It’s also very hunger-satisfying and you won’t be able to get enough of this dish. He cooks the mushrooms and leeks in stock and then in heavy cream. This not only cooks the mushroom and leeks perfectly but also makes a sauce with a smoother consistency.
I love this recipe because it is quite simple. You just make the mushroom sauce and then add the pasta to it. Also, the garlic bruschetta is an amazing side dish to serve the pasta with. The creamy pasta and the crispy bruschetta are a match made in heaven. So, let’s see how to make them, shall we? But first, check out some other recipes from the Chef’s delight.

What Ingredients Will You Need To Make Gordon Ramsay’s Mushroom Pasta?
- Lasagna Sheets- The lasagna sheets are a different yet great choice for this pasta and go great with creamy sauce.
- Mushrooms- The fried mushrooms give the pasta a great earthy and meaty flavor which is quite distinct in every bite.
- Garlic, Leeks and Tarragon- This trio gives the pasta a great texture, aroma, and flavor. The garlic is in charge of the strong aroma. The leeks take charge of the creamy, buttery texture and the tarragon gives the pasta a herby touch.
- Chicken Stock- Using chicken stock instead of water gives the mushrooms and leeks a better taste.
- Heavy Cream- Heavy cream is the ingredient that makes this pasta the creamy delight it is.
- Olive Oil- Olive oil doesn’t have a strong odor of its own. Hence, it is the perfect oil to cook vegetables.
- Salt and Black Pepper- I cannot stress enough the importance of seasoning in a dish. Season as much you like and enjoy.
For the Garlic Bruschetta
- Bread Slices- Gordon Ramsay uses ciabatta slices, but you can use French or Italian loaf.
- Olive Oil- Olive oil acts as grease when you need to toast the bread.
- Garlic- You need to rub the garlic over the bread slices to get all the garlic flavor in it.
