1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook penne pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

2. Pat steak tips dry. Toss with Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.

3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add steak tips and sear for 2–3 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Remove and tent with foil.

4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter and minced garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

5. Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Whisk in cream cheese until smooth.

6. Stir in parmesan and mozzarella cheese gradually until melted and the sauce becomes thick and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

7. Add cooked penne to the sauce and stir to coat evenly. Add reserved pasta water if needed to loosen.

8. Plate pasta and top with Cajun steak tips. Garnish with chopped parsley and cracked black pepper. Serve immediately.
