Note
For a lighter version, you can substitute chicken breast for the sirloin steak. Ensure the chicken is cut into thin strips for quick cooking.
This dish is best served immediately while the cheese is melted and the pasta is hot. If reheating, add a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce.
Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, spinach, or broccoli florets to increase the nutritional value and variety of textures.
If using fresh spaghetti sauce, you may need to reduce the heat slightly to prevent burning while heating through.
