Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb cooked steak (sirloin or ribeye)
- 12 oz pasta (penne or rigatoni)
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- ½ cup honey
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: 2 cups spinach, crispy bacon, blue cheese crumbles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it’s ready to help turn this hearty mix into a bubbly, golden delight.
- Cook your pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside, ready to soak in all that creamy deliciousness.
- In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the cooked steak slices for 2-3 minutes until warmed through and fragrant.
- If you’re opting for that extra nutrition, toss in the spinach and stir until it wilts, transforming the dish into a vibrant tapestry of flavor and color.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buffalo sauce, honey, heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, creating a drool-worthy sauce that ties everything together.
- Now, in a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, steak mixture, and that heavenly sauce. Stir until every piece is perfectly coated, ensuring that deliciousness is abundant in every bite.
- Transfer this colorful medley to a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly so that every serving is rich and flavorful.
- Generously sprinkle the cheddar and Parmesan cheeses on top, knowing that soon they will melt into golden, cheesy perfection.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until it’s bubbly and beautifully golden on top. The anticipation will be almost too much to bear!
- Once out of the oven, let it cool slightly before serving. If you wish, garnish with crispy bacon, blue cheese crumbles, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
Notes
This dish pairs beautifully with a crisp salad or roasted vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
