A delectable trio of flavors awaits you in this hearty dinner recipe featuring steak, pasta, and garlic toast—perfect for any night of the week!
Ingredients
4
- 2 boneless ribeye steaks
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 slices of crusty bread
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1
Start by bringing a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2
Season the ribeye steaks with salt and pepper on both sides.
3
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the steaks and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your preferred doneness. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
4
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly.
5
Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir until melted and creamy. Toss in the cooked fettuccine and mix well to coat the pasta with the sauce.
6
While the pasta cooks, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the slices of crusty bread on a baking sheet, brush with olive oil, and toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes until golden and crispy.
7
Slice the steaks and serve them alongside the creamy pasta, garnishing with fresh parsley and accompanied by the garlic toast.

Pro Tips
Let the steaks rest after cooking for more juiciness.
Feel free to add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms to the pasta for added flavor.
Make sure to stir the cream sauce continuously to prevent it from burning.
Troubleshooting
If the sauce is too thick, add more cream or pasta water to reach desired consistency.
If the garlic toast isn't crispy enough, toast for an additional few minutes.
Recipe Variations
Try adding a spicy kick with red pepper flakes in the cream sauce.
Swap fettuccine for penne or spaghetti based on your preference.
Healthy Alternatives
Use whole wheat pasta for a healthier option.
Swap heavy cream for a mixture of Greek yogurt and a bit of milk for a lighter sauce.
Opt for grilled chicken instead of steak for a leaner protein.
Serving Suggestions
Pair the dish with a simple green salad dressed in lemon vinaigrette.
Serve with a side of steamed broccoli or green beans for added nutrition.
