Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 pounds sirloin steak (or chicken/turkey)
- 12 oz twisted pasta (rotini or fusilli)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Cook the twisted pasta by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil. Add your twisted pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Sear the steak bites in a large skillet with olive oil over medium-high heat, cooking until browned on all sides, about 4-5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- Create the creamy sauce by lowering the heat, adding butter, and then pouring in the heavy cream with Cajun seasoning. Simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until thickened.
- Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce, then fold in the seared steak bites and mix in grated Parmesan until gooey and flavorful.
Notes
Serve with fresh parsley and a green salad dressed with olive oil and vinegar, and pair with a full-bodied red wine.
