Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta:

    • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat.

    • Melt 3 tablespoons of butter, then stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
    • Return steak bites to the skillet and toss in the garlic butter sauce for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Prepare the Parmesan Sauce:
    • In a separate pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
    • Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
    • Pour in heavy cream, whisking until slightly thickened (3-4 minutes).
    • Stir in grated parmesan and season with salt and pepper to taste.
    • If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water gradually.
  5. Combine and Serve:
    • Toss cooked pasta in the parmesan sauce until fully coated.
