Ingredients
▢
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
Instructions
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.
When the pork chops are thoroughly browned on both sides, pour over the marinara sauce.
Cover and 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 pork chops to a plate leaving the marinara sauce in the skillet.
Add the red pepper flakes (if using) to the marinara sauce.
Drain the spaghetti reserving some of the cooking water. Add the spaghetti to the sauce in the skillet.
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 the pork chops alongside the spaghetti. Top with grated parmesan cheese.
Notes
Serve this with anything you'd normally serve with spaghetti. Garlic bread and salad are a classic choice.
