Here’s a rich, creamy Steak & Garden Spinach Linguine recipe — tender steak, fresh spinach, and pasta tossed in a luscious garlic cream sauce.

🥩🍝 Creamy Steak & Garden Spinach Linguine

Ingredients (4 servings)

• 8 oz (225 g) linguine or fettuccine
• 1 lb (450 g) steak (sirloin, ribeye, or flank), thinly sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cups fresh spinach (about 4 cups loosely packed)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ¼ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tbsp butter
• Optional garnish: fresh parsley or extra Parmesan

Instructions

1. Cook the pasta

• Boil linguine according to package directions until al dente.
• Drain, reserving ½ cup pasta water.

2. Cook the steak

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Season steak slices with salt and pepper.
• Sear steak 2–3 minutes per side until browned (or desired doneness).
• Remove steak from skillet and set aside.

3. Make the sauce

• In the same skillet, add butter.
• Sauté onion for 2–3 minutes until translucent.
• Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
• Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
• Mix in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
• Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if using.
• Add a splash of reserved pasta water if sauce is too thick.

4. Combine

• Add spinach to the sauce, cooking 1–2 minutes until wilted.
• Toss cooked pasta and steak back into the skillet with the sauce.
• Stir to coat evenly and heat through.

5. Serve

• Divide onto plates and garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan.

✨ Tips & Variations

• Mushrooms: add 1 cup sliced mushrooms with the onions.
• Garlic twist: roast 4 garlic cloves and mash into the sauce for extra depth.
• Lighter version: use half-and-half or whole milk instead of heavy cream.
• Cheesy: stir in ¼ cup cream cheese for extra richness.
• Protein swap: chicken or shrimp work just as well.

I can also give you a one-pan version for easier cleanup if you want. Do you want me to do that?
