  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Generously season the steak with Cajun seasoning on all sides and let sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes.

  7. Toss the cooked pasta into the Alfredo sauce, adding reserved pasta water if necessary to adjust the consistency.
  8. Top with sliced Cajun steak, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately!
