🍳 How to Make It
1. Cook the Pasta
Boil the bowtie pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Steak Bites
Season your steak cubes with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Add the steak bites and sear until browned on all sides — this gives you that beautiful crust.
Lower the heat, add butter and minced garlic, and toss the steak until coated in that delicious garlic butter. Remove from heat.
3. Make the Creamy Sauce
In another pan, melt butter and add heavy cream. Let it simmer gently, then stir in the parmesan until smooth and creamy.
Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Toss the bowtie pasta in the sauce until every piece is coated.
4. Plate & Serve
Serve a generous portion of creamy bowtie pasta on one side of the plate and pile the garlic butter steak bites on the other.
Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of chili flakes.
Your plate should look as irresistible as the one in the picture!
