Are you one of the lucky people whose comfort foods include both an ample bowl of pasta or a nice steak? This meal is tailored to you. And even if your comfort foods are, say, pears and guacamole (weirdo), there's everything to love about cheesy pasta tossed with a medley of fresh vegetables and meaty steak. In fact, if you don't care about comfort at all, you've still got great flavors and that satiated feel from a perfect bowl of pasta. Are you feeling our love for this dish? We've gotten very comfortable with it. (Boo, we know.) Tip: Make quick work of mincing garlic by smashing the whole clove with the side of your chef's knife. Then rock the knife back and forth, keeping the tip steady by resting your other hand over the top.
