Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Fettuccine pasta
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 lb Beef sirloin strips
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Black pepper
- 3 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 28-oz can Crushed tomatoes
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 4 quarts Water
Instructions
Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add a pinch of salt and cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Season the beef strips with 1/2 tsp of salt and black pepper. Add the beef to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Remove the beef from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir in the remaining salt, black pepper, dried basil, and dried oregano. Simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Add the cooked beef strips back into the skillet, along with the reserved pasta water to thin the sauce if necessary. Simmer for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Toss the cooked fettuccine in the skillet with the beef and sauce until well coated.
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.
