1 teaspoon Kosher salt1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper1/2 teaspoon garlic powderInstructions
- Boil rotini noodles in salted water over medium heat for 7 minutes or until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water and drain the rest.
- Season steak cubes with steak seasoning (salt, chipotle chili powder, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder). Drizzle with avocado oil and toss to coat.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 2 minutes per side for a medium-rare finish. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add 2 tablespoons of avocado oil. Sauté the bell peppers, onions, Red Gold Roasted Garlic Tomato Paste, and fresh garlic. Cook for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour in the heavy cream and add the pasta seasoning (salt, chipotle chili powder, black pepper, and garlic powder). Stir well, then add the reserved pasta water. Simmer for 7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Add the cooked pasta, Parmesan cheese, Mexican-style cheese, and cooked steak to the skillet. Stir until everything is evenly combined and heated through.
- Serve in pasta bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro and freshly grated Parmesan.
