1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain.

2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season beef strips with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.

3. Sear beef for 2–3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

4. In the same skillet, reduce heat and melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

5. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer gently for 3–5 minutes.

6. Stir in Parmesan cheese and an extra pinch of Cajun seasoning.

7. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat in the sauce. Use reserved pasta water to loosen if needed.

8. Return beef strips to skillet, combine with pasta, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve warm.
