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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
While the pasta cooks, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil and the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Toss the cooked fettuccine in the skillet with the beef and sauce until well coated.
Step 8
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley if desired.
