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
- 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.
- Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, drain the pasta, and set it aside.
- 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.
- Remove steaks and let them rest. In the same skillet, add butter, melt it, then sauté garlic until fragrant.
- Optionally add red pepper flakes, then pour in chicken stock and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Add heavy cream, bring to a simmer, then stir in cream cheese and fresh thyme. Add parmesan cheese and mix until melted.
- Adjust thickness with reserved pasta water, then add spaghetti and coat with the sauce.
- 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.
