Luxurious Beef Pasta in a Creamy Garlic Sauce
Ingredients:
For the Pasta & Beef:
12 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
1 lb beef sirloin or ribeye, thinly sliced
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
tsp salt
tsp black pepper
tsp smoked paprika
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
2 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
cup whole milk
cup grated Parmesan cheese
tsp Italian seasoning
tsp red pepper flakes optional
Salt & pepper to taste
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Directions:
Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sear the Beef: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the sliced beef, season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant about 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and milk, stirring constantly. Add Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. Simmer until the sauce thickens about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine Everything: Add the cooked pasta and seared beef back into the skillet, tossing to coat in the creamy garlic sauce. Let everything simmer for 1-2 minutes to blend the flavors.
Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately and enjoy!
