The steak and blue cheese pasta recipe serves a good amount of people, from 6 to 8, with ample leftovers.
You can use any kind of steak, but in this recipe we used sirloin. Filet mignon, Ribeye, or New York strip can also work well. Cream and blue cheese sauce combine nicely into a lighter sauce that perfectly coats the mushrooms and steak.
You can serve it either by pleading pasta and then topping with the sauce or combining the sauce and pasta beforehand.
This steak and blue cheese pasta recipe will also work well with Gorgonzola or any other kind of blue cheese.
This is a crowd-pleasing dish that will provide excellent leftovers for several days.
