Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add rigatoni pasta and cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add steak pieces, searing each side for about 3-4 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
- Using the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Pour in heavy cream, scraping the fond from the skillet. Incorporate blue cheese, oregano, salt, and black pepper, stirring gently. Let this simmer for about 3-5 minutes.
- Return the seared steak to the skillet, then add the cooked rigatoni to the sauce. Toss gently until the pasta is well-coated with the sauce.
- Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish. Spread it out evenly and top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the dish for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, serve hot garnished with chopped parsley.
