Ingredients

Scale

16 ounces spaghetti (or pasta of choice)
Salt as needed
2 ribeye steaks (about 8 ounces per steak)
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 garlic cloves (minced)
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (for heat, optional)
½ cup chicken stock
2 cups heavy cream
2 ounces cream cheese (cut into cubes)
2 sprigs fresh thyme
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup grated parmesan
2 tablespoons minced parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, reserving ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
Season ribeye steaks with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried thyme.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steaks for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare. Let rest before slicing.
Melt butter in the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes, and add red pepper flakes if desired.
Pour in chicken stock and simmer, then stir in heavy cream and cream cheese until smooth.
Add sprigs of thyme, ⅛ teaspoon black pepper, and grated parmesan, stirring until melted and sauce thickens. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water.
Toss cooked spaghetti in the creamy sauce until well-coated.
Plate the pasta, top with sliced ribeye, and garnish with minced parsley. Serve immediately.

Notes

Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency and consider adding vegetables for extra nutrition.
