My husband and I love to cook this steak Alfredo pasta recipe on busy evenings. It’s our little ritual—while he takes care of the steak, I handle the pasta and sauce. Sometimes I swap the fusilli for fettuccine or any other pasta shape, and it still comes out amazing, coated in a decadent sauce, and ready in under an hour. All I have to do is boil the pasta, make the sauce, and he cooks the steak. It’s a perfect, fuss-free meal that brings us together after a long day.

What You’ll Need

This easy Steak Alfredo recipe requires simple ingredients to make a dish reminiscent of your favorite meals at Olive Garden! Here’s everything you’ll need to make this comforting and creamy pasta in your own kitchen.

• Ribeye steak – I urge you to make my recipe for a perfectly cooked ribeye! Sirloin works, too.
• Olive oil – Used for oiling the steak.
• Salt and pepper – Use enough to just enhance the flavor of the juicy steak.
• Fusilli pasta – Any other type of pasta will also work, including no-carb pasta and gluten-free pasta.
• Unsalted butter – Adds flavor and helps to thicken the sauce.
• Garlic – You can swap them for a teaspoon or so of garlic powder.
• Shallot – I highly recommend using shallots, but you can also substitute with an onion.
• Heavy whipping cream – Half and half is also a good alternative.
• Whole milk – Feel free to use low-fat milk.
• Parmesan – Provides a sharp, nutty flavor to the creamy sauce that clings to the pasta.
• Cream cheese – Low-fat is okay to use.
• Fresh parsley – I like to use parsley or basil for a pop of color.

How to Make Steak Pasta Alfredo

This easy pasta dinner features a seared steak served over a bed of creamy fusilli topped with homemade Alfredo sauce. For complete directions, scroll down to the recipe card.

1. Boil the pasta. Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add the fusilli and cook it according to package instructions. Drain it and set it aside.
2. Cook the garlic. Melt the butter in the pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot. Let them cook for a few minutes. Afterward, stir in the milk and heavy cream.
3. Add the cheeses. Next, mix in the cream cheese and parmesan. Stir the sauce for 5-6 minutes or until the cheese has melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Add the pasta. Reduce the heat to low and stir the fusilli into the sauce so it’s completely coated. Cook for 2 minutes or until warm. Remove it from the heat.
5. Season and cook the steak. Rub olive oil on the ribeye and season it with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to a pan set over medium-high heat. Add the ribeye and let it cook for 4 to 6 minutes on each side. Transfer it to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before cutting it into 1″ slices.
6. Serve. Lastly, adjust the seasoning in the pasta with more salt and pepper to taste. Serve and top with slices of steak, fresh parsley, and more parmesan cheese.

Serving Suggestions

Since this alfredo pasta dinner already has carbs and protein, I like to think of it as a whole meal. However, it’s also great with a salad, like my Tomato Burrata Salad and Cobb Salad. When I’m feeling fancy, I go with these Roasted Artichokes or Roasted Mushrooms with Parmesan and pine nuts.

Finally, nothing beats a warm bowl of Cream of Mushroom Soup with Rice right before this impressive and easy pasta recipe is served.

How to Store & Reheat Leftovers

Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To reheat the Alfredo pasta, sprinkle it with a tablespoon of water or milk. After that, microwave it for up to a minute or until warm. Stir well and enjoy. You can also reheat it in a pan over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes.
