Description

This rich and delicious pasta dish combines tender slices of prime rib, fresh spinach, and a velvety Alfredo sauce to create the ultimate comfort meal. Perfect for using leftover prime rib or adding a luxurious twist to a weeknight dinner, this recipe brings restaurant-quality flavors right to your own kitchen.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 8 ounces fettuccine or penne pasta

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 pound cooked prime rib, thinly sliced or cubed

  • 4 cups fresh spinach

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.

  • Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add prime rib and cook for 2–3 minutes until lightly browned. Remove and set aside.

  • Lower heat to medium. Add garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute.

  • Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2–3 minutes.

  • Pour in heavy cream and milk. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.

  • Add Parmesan cheese gradually, stirring until smooth and creamy. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.

  • Return the pasta and prime rib to the skillet, tossing gently to coat in the creamy sauce. If too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time.

  • Serve warm and garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • Leftover prime rib works perfectly in this dish and keeps the meat tender.

  • Freshly grated Parmesan helps achieve the smoothest Alfredo sauce.

  • You can substitute ribeye, sirloin, or another tender beef cut if prime rib isn’t available.

  • Add extra vegetables like mushrooms or peas for additional flavor and nutrition.
