For the Creamy Sauce
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Use half-and-half or a dairy alternative for a lighter version.
  • 3/4 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese Swap it for pecorino if you prefer a sharper flavor.
  • 2 cups Torn Spinach Fresh kale can be used as a substitute.

  • large pot
  • Sauté Pan

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a large pot, fill with water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Add kosher salt and the fettuccine noodles. Cook for 6-7 minutes until they are just under al dente, then reserve 2 cups of the pasta water, drain the noodles, and set aside.
  2. In a sauté pan over medium-high heat, add olive oil and let it heat until shimmering. Carefully place the steak cubes in the pan, searing them for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, reaching 155°F for medium doneness. Remove steak and cover with foil.
  3. Pour in the reserved pasta water, scraping up any browned bits. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to concentrate flavors.
  4. Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream followed by the deglazed pasta water. Allow to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, then add the cooked fettuccine and toss to coat.
  5. Mix in Parmesan cheese, torn spinach, and sundried tomatoes. Cook until spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes. Add more reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
  6. Plate the pasta, crumble gorgonzola over and finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze.
