Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, toss with olive oil, and keep warm.

Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the rib-eye and sear on both sides until rosy-pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes depending on thickness. Transfer the steak to a cutting board and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the same skillet. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until fragrant, 5 to 10 seconds. Return the steak to the skillet and cook to your desired doneness, about 5 minutes more. Stir in the soy sauce and cook until it evaporates, 3 to 5 seconds.

Off the heat, stir in the spinach, pesto, olives, feta cheese, sunflower kernels, parsley, and basil; transfer to a large bowl. Add the pasta, toss, and serve.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
