Description
Tender grilled steak meets rich Gorgonzola Alfredo sauce in this Olive Garden–style pasta dinner. Creamy, savory, and irresistibly satisfying.
Ingredients
1 lb steak (sirloin, ribeye, or filet), grilled and sliced
8 oz fettuccine
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional Add-ins:
1 clove garlic, minced
Pinch of nutmeg
1–2 tbsp sundried tomatoes
1–2 cups spinach
Balsamic glaze, for finishing
Instructions
Cook Pasta: Boil fettuccine until al dente. Reserve ½ cup pasta water and drain.
Sear Steak: Rub steak with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Sear 4–5 minutes per side for medium-rare. Let rest, then slice thinly.
Make Sauce: In same pan, heat olive oil or butter. Sauté garlic or sundried tomatoes (if using), then add cream. Simmer.
Stir in Parmesan, Gorgonzola, nutmeg (if using), and a splash of pasta water. Simmer 5–7 minutes until creamy.
Toss Pasta: Add cooked fettuccine to sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
Assemble: Plate pasta, top with sliced steak. Drizzle balsamic glaze, sprinkle extra Gorgonzola, and add spinach or tomatoes if desired.
Serve Immediately.
Notes
For extra gloss, finish sauce with a bit of butter.
Use gluten-free pasta for a GF option.
Substitute Gorgonzola with blue cheese or goat cheese if preferred.
