Instructions:Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Make the Pasta Dough In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Gradually add water, stirring until dough forms. Knead on a clean surface for 8–10 minutes until smooth. Wrap and rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
2. Roll and Cut the Pasta After resting, roll the dough to 1–2 mm thickness. Use kitchen scissors to cut rustic shapes. Set aside on a floured surface.
3. Cook the Pasta Bring salted water to a boil. Cook pasta for 2–3 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
4. Prepare the Steak Let steak sit at room temperature for 20 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Heat a griddle pan until very hot, then add garlic and rosemary. Cook steak for 2–2.5 minutes per side (for medium-rare). Rest the steak for 15 minutes.
5. Heat the Sauce Gently warm the porcini mushroom sauce in a small pan. Stir in chopped fresh basil.
6. Assemble and Serve Toss the drained pasta with warm sauce. Plate and drizzle with olive oil (optional). Slice the rested steak and serve on top or alongside the pasta.
Buon Appetito!
