Ingredients:

For the steak:

• 1 steak (cut of your choice, about 1–1.5 inches thick)

• Salt, to taste

• 2 tbsp butter

• 2 cloves garlic, chopped

For the pasta:

• 100 g pasta (spaghetti, penne, or your choice)

• ½ onion, finely chopped

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Method:

1. Prepare the steak:

   • Season both sides of the steak generously with salt.

   • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and sear for about 2 minutes per side (adjust depending on thickness and desired doneness).

   • Add 2 tablespoons of butter and the chopped garlic. Tilt the pan and spoon the melted butter over the steak to baste it.

   • Remove the steak from the pan and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with a touch of black pepper after cutting.

2. Make the pasta sauce:

   • In the same pan (drain excess butter if needed), sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until fragrant and softened.

   • Add Italian seasoning, paprika, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

   • Pour in the heavy cream and simmer gently for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

3. Cook the pasta:

   • While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain.

   • Add the cooked pasta to the cream sauce and toss to coat evenly.

4. Serve:

   • Slice the rested steak and serve alongside or on top of the creamy pasta. Sprinkle with optional chilli flakes for extra kick.

Tips:

• For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine to the cream sauce while simmering.

• You can finish the dish with grated Parmesan or vegan cheese if desired.

• Resting the steak is key—this keeps it juicy and tender.

• Add sautéed mushrooms or spinach to the pasta for more texture and flavor.
