Notes

Feel free to substitute different cuts of steak or pasta shapes based on your preferences. If you're looking for a lighter version, consider using half-and-half instead of whole milk. To store leftovers, keep steak and pasta in separate airtight containers; pasta lasts 3-4 days, while steak will be good for up to 2 days. Reheat with care to maintain flavor and texture. Garnish with fresh herbs for a vibrant presentation!
