Cook the rigatoni in lightly salted water until al dente. Save 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain. 2. Pat the steak dry and season with garlic powder, thyme, black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sear the whole steaks in the olive oil over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side, until 145°F inside. Rest 3 minutes, then slice across the grain. 3. On low heat, toss the steak with 2 tablespoons butter and half the garlic for 30 seconds. Take off the heat. 4. In a clean skillet, melt the remaining butter. Add the remaining garlic on low heat for 30 seconds. Stir in the cream, milk and cream cheese; warm gently for 3–4 minutes until smooth. 5. Save 1/4 cup mozzarella and 1 tablespoon Parmesan for topping. Melt in the white cheddar, then take off the heat. Stir in the remaining Parmesan and mozzarella a handful at a time. 6. Fold in the rigatoni. Add reserved pasta water a tablespoon or two at a time if needed for a creamy sauce. Taste and add the remaining salt as needed. 7. Sprinkle the reserved mozzarella over the rigatoni. Cover off the heat for 1 minute to soften. Plate the steak and its garlic butter beside the pasta. Finish with the reserved Parmesan and fresh parsley. Prep Time: 15 minutes Cooking Time: 25 minutes Total Time: 40 minutes Servings: 6 Calories: about 800 per serving (estimated)
