Ingredients

Scale

1 ribeye steak (about 1 lb)
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
4 tbsp unsalted butter
8 oz rigatoni pasta
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

Prepare all ingredients: mince garlic, chop spinach, and grate cheese.
Cook rigatoni in boiling salted water until al dente; drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the ribeye steak with salt and pepper, then sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until a crust forms.
In the last minute of cooking, add butter and minced garlic to the skillet; spoon the melted mixture over the steak.
In a separate saucepan over low heat, combine cooked rigatoni with heavy cream, cheddar cheese, spinach, salt, pepper, and a splash of reserved pasta water until creamy.
Serve steak alongside cheesy rigatoni and drizzle any remaining garlic butter on top.
