Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces whole wheat penne pasta
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 (1 pound) beef rib eye steak
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon minced garlic
¼ cup chopped shallots
1 tablespoon soy sauce
½ cup sun-dried tomato pesto
½ cup sliced black olives
1 cup chopped fresh spinach
1 teaspoon basil
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
3 tablespoons sunflower kernels

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. When cooked, drain, then toss with olive oil, and keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the rib-eye on both sides until rosy-pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes depending on thickness. Remove steak from skillet and cut into bite-size pieces. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet, and stir in the garlic and shallots. Cook 5 to 10 seconds until fragrant, then return the steak to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes or to desired doneness. Stir in the soy sauce, and cook a few seconds longer, allowing it to evaporate.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sun-dried tomato pesto, olives, spinach, basil, parsley, feta cheese and sunflower kernels. Toss with the pasta in a large bowl and serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality ingredients. Fresh vegetables, herbs, and a good quality olive oil will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. It should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Let the pasta cool slightly before adding the other ingredients. This will help to prevent the pasta from becoming soggy.
  • If you're using a creamy dressing, be sure to add it just before serving. This will help to keep the dressing from separating.
  • Garnish the pasta salad with fresh herbs or grated cheese for a pop of color and flavor.
