Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound rigatoni pasta
  • 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Gruyere cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Fontina cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Cook rigatoni according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, season steak pieces with salt and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add steak and sear for 2-3 minutes per side, until browned. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan, Pecorino Romano, Gruyere, and Fontina cheeses. Cook, stirring constantly, until cheeses are melted and sauce is smooth.
  6. If sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water, a little at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  7. Add drained rigatoni and seared steak to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat evenly.
  8. Stir in fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • To prevent a grainy sauce, ensure your heat is not too high when melting the cheeses. Stir constantly.
  • For an even richer flavor, you can use a mix of your favorite cheeses.
  • This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
