Ingredients
- 8 oz fettuccine or spaghetti

- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions
- Cook pasta: Boil salted water in a medium pot. Add pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Season steak: Pat steak dry. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Sear steak: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook steak 2–3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

- Add cream: Stir in heavy cream. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.
- Add cheese: Mix in Parmesan until smooth and creamy.
- Combine pasta and steak: Add cooked pasta and steak to the skillet. Toss gently to coat.

Notes
- Use room-temperature steak for even cooking.

- Reserve some pasta water to loosen the sauce if needed.
- Slice steak against the grain for tenderness.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
