Instructions
Preparation Steps
Cook the fettuccine in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, following package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the steak strips, cooking until browned and just cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and continue to cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Lower the heat and add the Velveeta cheese cubes to the skillet. Pour in the milk and stir until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the sauce. Season with black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, drizzling the remaining butter over each plate for added richness.
Notes
For a kick, sprinkle with red pepper flakes or add fresh parsley for garnish.
