Description

A delicious creamy spaghetti dish featuring Cajun-seasoned beef, cheeses, and herbs for a flavorful meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz spaghetti
  • 1 lb diced sirloin or ribeye steak
  • 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 3 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti, cooking until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Take the diced sirloin or ribeye steak and sprinkle it generously with Cajun seasoning. Toss until the beef is well coated for maximum flavor.
  3. In a hot skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the seasoned beef and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. Using the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and golden.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream, then add cream cheese, Parmesan, and mozzarella. Stir continuously until everything is smooth and melted together, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Return the cooked beef and spaghetti back into the skillet. Toss gently to coat everything thoroughly with that irresistible creamy sauce.
  7. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot, and don’t forget to add extra Parmesan and a pinch of Cajun spice for that added kick!

Notes

  • This dish is best served immediately for a creamy texture.
  • Add more Cajun seasoning if you prefer a spicier flavor.
