Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 pork chops
salt
pepper
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup olive oil
24 ounces marinara sauce ((about 3 cups -- either homemade or purchased))
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
8 ounces spaghetti
Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Salt and pepper both sides of the pork chops. Sprinkle the flour over the chops to lightly coat them.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large deep skillet.
  • Add the chops and cook until nicely browned on both sides. Work in batches if necessary to prevent crowding the pan.
  • Place the browned chops back into the skillet and pour over the marinara sauce.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the chops are done all the way through (about 20 minutes).
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package directions.
  • When the spaghetti is done, remove the chops to a plate and cover with foil.
  • Add the red pepper flakes, if using, to the marinara sauce.
  • Drain the spaghetti and add it to the sauce. Toss to coat the spaghetti with the sauce. Add a small amount of the pasta cooking water if the marinara sauce is too thick.
  • Serve chops alongside spaghetti.
  • Top with grated Parmesan cheese.

When I make these chops, I always have to make extra. Everyone has to eat more than they need. Great with a salad. The chops are baked in a crispy, buttery coating in the oven.

SLOW COOKER PORK CACCIATORE



Slow Cooker Pork Cacciatore image

A wonderful Italian neighbor showed me how to make this recipe after I commented on how good it made the neighborhood smell when she had her windows open when she made it. This American-Italian term refers to food prepared 'hunter-style,' with mushrooms, onions, tomatoes, various herbs, and sometimes wine. I found adding cheese gave it something special, it also made it mine.
