  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  3. In the same skillet, cook diced onion until softened, then add minced garlic.
  4. Melt butter in the skillet and stir in flour to form a roux.

  6. Add Gouda and mozzarella cheese, stirring until melted and creamy.
  7. Mix in truffle oil, salt, and black pepper.
  8. Return cooked steak to the skillet and combine with the sauce.
  9. Mix pasta with the sauce and transfer to a greased baking dish.
  10. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 20 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  11. Let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Add sautéed mushrooms for extra earthy flavor.
  • Use Gruyère or Parmesan for additional cheese depth.
  • Substitute steak with chicken if preferred.
  • Top with breadcrumbs and extra cheese for a crispier finish.
  • Add a splash of milk when reheating to maintain creaminess.
