Steak and Pasta w/garlic parm cream sauce- Jack Approved!!

Ingredients:  

12 oz Pasta of your choice (I used angel hair)

1 lb sirloin steak  (I used one NY Strip and it was perfect for 2 servings) 

2 tbsp butter  

3 cloves garlic, minced  

1/2 cup heavy cream  

1/4 cup Parmesan, grated  (as un processed as possible- you want it to melt into the sauce & a lot of additives makes it gritty or clumpy)

1 tsp black pepper  

1/2 tsp salt  

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes  (Skip for the mild pallets)

Directions:  

Cook linguine and drain.  Toss w oil and cover to keep warm. 

Season steak on both sides, sear steak on both sides, remove to cutting board.  Don’t discard steak drippings. 

In the steak pan w the drippings on medium heat: Sauté garlic, add cream, Parmesan, and red pepper flakes.  Whisk until smooth. Turn off heat. Slice the steak.

Plate the noodles, top with sliced meat, top meat and noodles w sauce. Or, if you prefer, toss the sauce and pasta together then top w meat.

Prep Time: 10 minutes    

Serves: 4 (2 per steak)
