I love Latin food, and I love Italian food as well! So I figured for dinner I would combined the two and create something out of the box and flavorful! Give it a try and enjoy! 😄

Steps

1 hour
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to broil.

  2. 2

    Place tomatoes in oven 7 inches below broil coils and roast tomatoes for 10 minutes on each side, until the skin starts to blacken and peel back.

  3. 3

    Place tomatoes in a zip lock bag, and zip close removing all air. Cover bag with a damp paper towel and let the tomatoes sit for about 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Using your knife remove cactus needle by sliding knife across needles going upwards towards the round end of the cactus. As if you were shaving with the grain.

  12. 12

    In the same pan, still on medium-high heat; add 2 teaspoons olive oil, garlic, onions, red bell peppers, & 1/2 serano pepper. Cook for 2 minutes.

  14. 14

    Meanwhile bring a large pot to boil and add in salt... The water should taste like the ocean. Cook your shell pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.

  15. 15

    Remove tomatoes from ziplock bag and peel the skins off. Chop the tomatoes and add them to the pan with the vegetables.

  16. 16

    In the pan with the cooked vegetables add in the chopped steak and cook for 5 minutes. Be sure to stir it occasionally to make sure that the steak can absorb all the flavors. Then turn the heat down to low and add in the other half of the serano pepper while you prepared your sauce.
