Instructions

Cooking Pasta

Begin by cooking the twisted pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Making the Sauce

In the same skillet, melt the butter and stir in the Cajun seasoning.
Pour in the heavy cream and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring until slightly thickened.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and blended.

Combining Ingredients

Add the cooked pasta and steak bites to the sauce, mixing well to coat everything evenly.
Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

For extra flavor, add minced garlic or herbs to the sauce. Customize with your favorite vegetables, such as spinach or bell peppers. Consider serving with a sprinkle of crushed red pepper for an extra kick.
