Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 8 ounces pasta (fettuccine, penne, or your choice)

Steak and Sauce

  • 1 pound steak (sirloin or ribeye, sliced thinly)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 8 ounces Boursin cheese (garlic and herb flavor)
  • 1/2 cup beef broth (or reserved pasta cooking water)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set it aside.
  2. Cook the Steak: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced steak, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 3–4 minutes until browned and cooked to your liking. Remove the steak from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the tomatoes begin to soften. Add the spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted.
  4. Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and add the Boursin cheese to the skillet. Stir until melted and creamy. Pour in the beef broth (or the reserved pasta cooking water) and stir to form a smooth sauce.
  5. Combine Everything: Return the cooked steak and drained pasta to the skillet. Toss everything until the pasta and steak are fully coated in the creamy sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Serve: Serve the pasta warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Notes

  • Reserve some pasta water to adjust sauce consistency if needed.
  • Use sirloin or ribeye steak for best flavor and tenderness.
  • Substitute beef broth with pasta cooking water for a lighter sauce.
  • Feel free to swap spinach for kale or arugula as preferred.
  • For a richer sauce, add a splash of cream along with the Boursin cheese.
