Cut the cube steak into serving-size pieces. Coat the meat with the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, and cook 1 teaspoon of the garlic for 3 minutes. Quickly fry the meat (brown both sides fast). Place the meat in a casserole baking dish, slightly overlapping the edges. Arrange the onion rings and peppers on top of the meat, and pour the pasta sauce over everything.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the thickness of the meat. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the meat and leave it in the oven until bubbly.

Boil the pasta until slightly firm. Drain, then toss with the butter and 1 teaspoon garlic. For a stronger garlic flavor, season with garlic powder. Top with grated parmesan and parsley for color. Serve the meat and sauce over a mound of pasta! HINT: Make the meat ahead of time and refrigerate overnight; the acid in the tomato sauce will tenderize the meat even more. If you do this, wait to add the mozzarella until the last minute.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
