Preparation

Step 1

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the Pasta into the boiling water. Cook until al dente (about 2 minutes).

Heat a large sauté pan or Dutch oven over high heat. When the pan is hot, add a drizzle of Olive Oil followed by the Beef. Season with Salt and Pepper and cook for one minute. Add the Peppers, Chili Flakes and a pinch of Salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the Peppers begin to break down and slightly caramelize (about 3 minutes). Next add the Garlic and continue to cook until everything is fragrant and aromatic (1 minute). Add the cooked Pasta to the pan with a small ladle of Pasta Water. Season with Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper to taste.

Garnish with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, Basil and a drizzle of Olive Oil.
