So I recently had a recipe that only needed a quarter cup of tomato sauce so when I opened up the can, I obviously had a lot left. I knew I could make pasta with it but that seemed so boring. Plus, I did have pork chops to use too. (Does anyone else ever thaw anything and then realize you don't have a recipe picked out to go with it? It can't just be me!)
I did a little looking around online and apparently, pork chops with pasta sauce is really delicious! Some people serve it with noodles but I served mine with Brussels sprouts and mashed cauliflower.
It's a really simple recipe. On high heat, cook your pork chops until browned on each side. Add your pasta sauce (I had four chops and almost a whole can of sauce), turn down the heat, and cover until pork is cooked through. The end! Isn't that easy?? And it's SO good too! I know people do a similar thing with chicken parmesan but I never even thought to do it with pork!
My kids and husband gobbled this up! I will definitely make it again. I think it could be good served with noodles or rice too because I did have a little extra sauce. I suppose it'd also be a similar effect if you cut up your pork chops and just served them on top of your spaghetti.
