Creamy steakhouse pasta is an easy recipe perfect for when you have company. It's also a great meal for date night at home (with leftovers for lunch the next day!)
I love this pasta dish because it's quick and easy, has tons of flavor, and is a delicious hearty meal.
This dish is based on a recipe from Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman). However, instead of pappardelle pasta, we're using linguine. I've also made a few other changes to the recipe that I think you'll love.

⭐ Tips
✔️ Cook the pasta to al dente and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. The pasta will warm up again when it's tossed with the tomato sauce.
✔️ Allowing the steak to rest before slicing gives time for the juices to redistribute. This ensures your steak is juicy and not dried out.
✔️ Don't skip the sugar in the sauce. It's important to balance out the acidity in the tomatoes.
🍴 Serving Suggestions
I like to serve this pasta recipe with focaccia, garlic bread, or garlic cheese bombs on the side.
🍲 Storage
To Store: Leftover pasta and steak should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep for 3-4 days. (These are my favorite airtight containers.)
To Reheat: Microwave individual portions in 30 second intervals until heated throughout. Alternatively, add the mixture to a skillet over medium heat. You may need to add some additional liquid (beef broth or half-and-half) if the sauce is too dry.

📖 Variations
The first time you try any new recipe we recommend that you make it just as it is written on the recipe card since that is how the delicious recipe has been tested. However, the next time you make our recipe, you might want to try one of these ideas:
If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash more half-and-half.
If you love mushrooms, add them to the skillet with the spinach. It's also delicious with zucchini or summer squash.
In the Fall, I sometimes add leftover butternut squash to the sauce for a bit more sweetness and flavor.
This pasta dish is a great way to use up leftover steak.
