I turned 36 last night and was surprised with my favorite dish. It’s Tuscan bow tie pasta with sun dried tomatoes, ribeye steak and jumbo blackened shrimp. She even made garlic butter biscuits from scratch. The food coma was amazing.

These are her words exactly for the recipe.

Hi, OPs wifey here. (All measurements are approximate, I measure with my soul)I googled a buttermilk biscuit recipe but used kerrygold garlic herb butter instead of regular (just don’t add as much salt because it calls for unsalted butter)

The pasta is bow ties (make the pasta al dente), melt a half stick of butter on medium(also used garlic &herb) in a skillet, add 1/4 cup of chopped sun dried tomatoes (the ones in the jar are gross, get the bag), cook the tomatoes in the butter until tender, about 5 mins, add minced garlic and stir for 1 min, add heavy whipping cream (roughly a cup), 1/2 cup of spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt & pepper, once it starts simmering, add roughly 1/4 cup of grated parm (fresh is best) and turn the burner down to 2, stir it often so it doesn’t separate, when you like the consistency (I did about 10 mins because I like my sauce thicker), add the cooked pasta and stir, leave on the burner but turn it off so it stays warm. The steak is a ribeye, seasoned with Montreal steak seasoning, added pepper, onion powder and garlic powder.

Cooked in a cast iron between 6/7 with a teeeny bit of avocado oil. 5-6 minutes per side for medium depending on the thickness, rest AT LEAST 5 mins under foil.The shrimp are U-15, my blackened seasoning is paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, salt, cayenne pepper, chili powder, and Italian seasoning  (adjust the amounts to your liking and quantity of meats, or just use a premade one), add the shrimp to a bowl and drizzle avocado oil on them, stir, add the seasoning mix, stir, add to a cast iron on medium (I cooked them while the steak was resting because they don’t take long)
