Instructions:
Cook the Pasta:
Boil pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water, drain, and set aside.
Prepare the Steak:
Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or adjust cooking time for desired doneness. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.
Cook the Shrimp:
In the same skillet, melt butter and add minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Set aside.
Make the Alfredo Sauce:
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Whisk in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Add reserved pasta water to adjust the consistency, if needed.
Combine:
Toss the cooked pasta with the Alfredo sauce until well coated. Plate the pasta, then top with steak slices and shrimp.
Serve:
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately for a decadent meal.
This indulgent surf-and-turf Alfredo pasta is perfect for date night or a special occasion. Enjoy!
