Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 1 lb ribeye or sirloin steak
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season the steak with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
- While the steak rests, boil salted water in a large pot and cook fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve some pasta water before draining.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream, stirring well to incorporate any browned bits from the skillet.
- Gradually mix in Parmesan cheese until melted. Stir in fresh spinach until wilted.
- Slice the rested steak thinly against the grain and combine it with the cooked pasta in the sauce, adding reserved pasta water as needed for creaminess.
