Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook rigatoni in salted boiling water until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear steak pieces until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté onion and bell pepper until softened (about 5 minutes). Add garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Lower heat; add heavy cream, deglazing the pan. Stir in blue cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper until melted and slightly thickened.
Return steak to skillet; combine with rigatoni until coated with sauce.
Transfer to a greased baking dish; top with mozzarella cheese.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and golden brown.
Garnish with parsley before serving.
