Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the bow tie pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Protein

    Season the top sirloin or chicken breast with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the meat for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches the desired doneness. Remove from heat and let rest.

Sauté Vegetables

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same grill pan, add bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Slice the cooked meat and place it on a plate. Top with the sautéed vegetable mixture. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese blend over the top and allow it to melt slightly. Serve the smothered protein alongside the bow tie pasta topped with marinara sauce or steamed vegetables.
