Steak and Mushroom Pasta

Steak and Mushroom Pasta prominently features sirloin and mushrooms in a rich, thick sauce which coats every bite of pasta.  The idea for this sauce originated in the practice of basic, neighborhood Italian restaurants routinely serving steak with sauteed mushrooms accompanied by pasta with marinara sauce.  We thought “Why not combine the steak, mushrooms, marinara sauce and pasta into one dish?”  Browning the sirloin steak and mushrooms first, then preparing the sauce and incorporating the steak and mushrooms back into the sauce allows these elements to remain distinct yet blending in perfectly into the sauce. Steak and Mushroom Pasta takes a bit of time to prepare, making it perfect for a Sunday night dinner; start out with a Sicilian Orange Salad then enjoy Steak and Mushroom Pasta accompanied by a robust, dry red wine.
