- 12 oz pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, or your choice)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Boil salted water in a large pot and cook pasta until al dente (8–10 minutes). Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season steaks with salt and pepper, then sear for 4–5 minutes on each side. Let rest before slicing thinly against the grain.
