Try this Spicy Cajun Steak with Creamy Alfredo Pasta

Step 1: Prepare the Pasta

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.

Step 2: Season and Cook the Steaks

  1. While the pasta cooks, season the steaks generously on both sides with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned steaks.
  3. Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare (or adjust cooking time according to your preferred doneness). Remove from the skillet and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Alfredo Sauce

  1. In the same skillet used for the steak, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, add the garlicand sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.
  3. Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta cooking water until you reach your desired consistency.
  4. Season the sauce with saltpepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) for extra heat.

Step 4: Combine Pasta and Sauce

  1. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly in the creamy mixture.

Step 5: Serve

  1. Slice the rested steaks against the grain.
  2. Serve the creamy pasta on plates, topped with slices of the spicy Cajun steak.
  3. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
