FROM THE DESK OF

Happy March, everyone.

We continue to make significant progress on community repairs,from improving door functionality to servicing the pool heaters. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we wait for parts and scheduled technicians.

We also appreciate the residents who have removed bird feeders—This helps prevent ducks from gathering in the area.

Additionally, thank you to all the pet owners who consistently clean up after their pets. If you have not been doing so, please begin now.

Your cooperation helps keep our community clean and enjoyable for all.

Together, we can make our community a great place to live.

Wishing everyone good fortune throughout the month of March and beyond.

Recipe of the Month

Creamy Steak Pasta Garlic

Tender steak and pasta tossed in creamy garlic parmesan sauce for pure comfort.

Prep duration: 15 min / Cook duration: 25 min / Overall duration: 40 min Ingredients

• Pasta (12 ounces fettuccine or penne pasta)

• Protein (1 pound sirloin or ribeye steak, thinly sliced)

• Seasonings (Salt, to taste, black pepper, to taste, 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional)

• Sauce and Aromatics (1 tablespoon olive oil)

Directions

01 - Boil pasta in a large pot of salted water according to package instructions. Drain well and reserve 1/2 cup of the cooking water.

02 - Season steak slices generously with salt and black pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil and sear the steak pieces until browned and cooked to desired doneness, about 2–3 minutes per side. Remove steak from skillet and set aside.

03 - Lower heat to medium and add butter to the same skillet. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until aromatic.

Expert Advice

01

• Quick enough for busy nights yet special enough for guests

• Flexible on cuts of steak and pasta shapes to fit your pantry

• Restaurant flavor without the high price tag

02

• High in protein and calcium which makes it both satisfying and gently energizing

• Pasta water is the secret to a glossy sauce that clings just right

• Freezes well but is best enjoyed fresh for the creamiest texture

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1/2 cup beef broth

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

• Garnish (Fresh parsley, chopped)

• Additional grated parmesan cheese, optional

04 - Deglaze the skillet by pouring in beef broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom. Simmer for 2 minutes.

05 - Add heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir regularly and simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir in crushed red pepper flakes if desired.

06 - Add cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. If needed, incorporate reserved pasta water to adjust sauce consistency. Return cooked steak to skillet and gently combine.

07 - Serve immediately, topped with chopped fresh parsley and extra grated parmesan if desired

03

• Slicing steak against the grain after cooking helps keep every bite tender

• Letting sauce simmer gently ensures the cream does not break

• Grate your own parmesan straight over the pan for a nutty intense flavor
