Ingredients
12 oz fettuccine pasta
10 oz ribeye or sirloin steak
8 oz Velveeta cheese, cubed
1 cup heavy cream
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
½ teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
½ cup reserved pasta water (as needed)
Instructions
1. Cook fettuccine in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving ½ cup pasta water.
2. Pat steak dry, season with salt and pepper. Sear in olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat, about 3–4 minutes per side. Rest steak for 5 minutes, then slice.
3. In the same pan, melt remaining butter. Add garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes.
4. Add cream, lower heat, then stir in Velveeta cubes until melted and smooth.
5. Add cooked fettuccine to the sauce, tossing to coat. Add pasta water a bit at a time if needed to loosen sauce.
6. Plate the pasta, top with sliced steak, chopped parsley, and Parmesan if using. Serve hot.
Notes
Resting the steak before slicing keeps it juicy and flavorful.
Cube the Velveeta for faster and smoother melting.
Taste the sauce before adding salt—Velveeta is already salty.
