Instructions
1️⃣ Cook the pasta:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cook shell pasta until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
2️⃣ Sear the beef:
- Pat the beef dry and season with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat.
- Add the beef in a single layer and sear for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Add minced garlic during the last 30 seconds for flavor.
- Remove beef from skillet and set aside (keep warm).
3️⃣ Make the garlic herb pasta:
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium.
- Add butter and olive oil. Sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Pour in beef broth (or reserved pasta water) and simmer for 1 minute.
- Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat.
- Stir in Parmesan, parsley, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4️⃣ Combine:
- Return the seared beef to the skillet and toss gently with the pasta.
- Let everything heat through for 1–2 minutes so the flavors meld beautifully.
🧀 Serve with:
A sprinkle of extra Parmesan, cracked black pepper, and warm garlic bread on the side.
💡 Tips:
- Use thinly sliced ribeye or sirloin for tenderness.
- Add a splash of cream or a knob of butter at the end for extra richness.
- Toss in sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes for flavor variety.
