  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 ounces spaghetti (or pasta of choice)
  • Salt as needed
  • 2 ribeye steaks (about 8 ounces per steak)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 garlic cloves (minced)
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (for heat, optional)
  • ½ cup chicken stock
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 ounces cream cheese (cut into cubes)
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup grated parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons minced parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot with water, bring it to a boil, and add a generous amount of salt. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, drain the pasta, and set it aside.
  3. Season ribeye steaks with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side to desired doneness.
  4. Remove steaks and let them rest. In the same skillet, add butter, melt it, then sauté garlic until fragrant.
  5. Optionally add red pepper flakes, then pour in chicken stock and simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Add heavy cream, bring to a simmer, then stir in cream cheese and fresh thyme. Add parmesan cheese and mix until melted.
  7. Adjust thickness with reserved pasta water, then add spaghetti and coat with the sauce.
  8. Slice steaks against the grain and serve over pasta, garnished with parsley.

Notes

Serve with a side salad or garlic bread. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
