Method
Preparation
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook rotini according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the beef or steak and cook until it’s nicely browned. Season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and optional paprika. Remove from heat and set aside.
Sauce Preparation
- Lower the heat to medium. In the same skillet, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add in the heavy cream and broth next. Bring it to a gentle simmer to allow the flavors to meld.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan (and mozzarella if desired) until the sauce is creamy and smooth.
Combine and Serve
- Toss the cooked rotini into the skillet, ensuring it’s well-coated in the delicious sauce. Use the reserved pasta water to adjust the sauce’s consistency if needed.
- Return the cooked beef to the skillet, mixing everything together. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes so the flavors blend perfectly.
- Finish with fresh parsley or basil for a pop of flavor and color. Serve hot!
