i.love.pasta. i mean I really, really, love it. if someone told me that i could only have one food for the rest of my life, i would choose pasta without hesitation. tonight when andy said he was cooking pasta i was so excited because he doesn’t typically (or should i say willingly) cook it (the boy loves his red meat and potatoes). but man-oh-man, it was so yummy and it seems simple enough to fix. if you’re in the mood for a good pasta dish, you really should give this one a try:

ingredients:

2 boneless pork chops

half-pound pasta

4 cipollinis

1 onion

2 cloves garlic

half-bag spinach

half package mushrooms, chopped

parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper (to taste)

to prepare:

preheat oven to 385

boil water and cook pasta

heat pan over medium-high heat- add the pork chops and cipollinis, searing on both sides (2-3 minutes per side)

once seared, put the pan in the oven

sauté onion, garlic, and mushrooms and in a pan on med. heat for 8 minutes. add the spinach at the end and wilt.

add about a cup of chicken stock to deglaze the pan and let simmer with the veggies for about 5 minutes

add the pasta and toss to coat it.

add parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste

cut up pork chops and add the pork and the cipollinis to the pasta.
