Introduction
This indulgent fettuccine dish combines the richness of a creamy cheese sauce with the bold, smoky flavors of perfectly grilled entrecôte steak. The velvety sauce, made with gorgonzola and cream, coats every strand of pasta, while the tender slices of grilled steak add a satisfying, meaty contrast. Whether you’re preparing a cozy dinner or impressing guests, this dish is a guaranteed showstopper.
Ingredients
For the Pasta:
• 200g fettuccine, pre-cooked
• 200g heavy cream (nata)
• 100g gorgonzola cheese
For the Entrecôte:
• 250g entrecôte steak
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Olive oil for grilling
Instructions
1. Prepare the Sauce: In a pan over medium heat, pour the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the gorgonzola cheese and stir continuously until melted and smooth. Let the sauce thicken slightly before turning off the heat.
2. Cook the Entrecôte: Season the steak generously with salt and black pepper. Heat a grill pan or skillet over high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Grill the entrecôte for about 3-4 minutes on each side for a perfect medium-rare finish. Adjust cooking time based on your preferred doneness. Once cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
3. Assemble the Dish: Add the cooked fettuccine directly into the cheese sauce and toss to coat evenly. Plate the pasta, then top it with slices of the grilled entrecôte.
4. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle freshly ground black pepper and chopped parsley for extra flavor. Serve immediately, optionally pairing with a glass of red wine for the perfect dining experience.
Tips for Success
• Use high-quality gorgonzola for a stronger, richer flavor.
• Let the steak rest before slicing to retain its juices.
• Add a splash of pasta water to the sauce for extra creaminess if needed.
Why This Recipe Works
The balance of creamy, cheesy pasta and the bold flavors of the grilled steak make this dish truly special. The fettuccine absorbs the luxurious sauce, while the juicy entrecôte brings an extra depth of flavor. It’s the ultimate comfort meal with a gourmet twist!
