Instructions
- Start by seasoning the flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. Gently coat each pork cutlet in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork cutlets and cook until they're beautifully browned on both sides. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside for now.
- In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion and red bell pepper until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for just a minute more to release its fragrance.
- Pour in the chicken broth, then stir in the chopped fresh basil and balsamic vinegar. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to your taste. Place the browned cutlets back into the skillet, cover it, and let everything simmer gently over low heat for about 15 minutes, or until the pork is tender and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, cook the egg noodles following the package directions. Once they're cooked and drained, mix in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, unsalted butter, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Give it all a good stir until everything is combined and the noodles are coated in the creamy sauce.
- To serve, spoon a generous helping of the creamy noodles onto each plate, then top with a deliciously tender pork scallopini. Enjoy!
Notes
- Use thin pork cutlets: Thin pork cutlets are ideal for this dish because they cook quickly and stay tender. If you can’t find thin cutlets, you can use a meat mallet to pound them thin.
- Reserve some pasta water: When draining the cooked noodles, be sure to reserve some of the pasta water. You can use this starchy water to thin out the sauce if it becomes too thick.
- Add more veggies: Feel free to add more vegetables to the dish to make it even more nutritious and flavorful. Sliced mushrooms, diced zucchini, or chopped spinach would all be great additions.
- Experiment with herbs and spices: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to suit your tastes. Thyme, rosemary, or oregano would all work well in the sauce, while a sprinkle of red pepper flakes would add a nice kick of heat to the dish.
- Transfer cooled leftovers to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. When reheating, you can either microwave it in a microwave-safe dish or reheat it on the stovetop over medium heat. If you find that the creamy noodles have thickened too much in the fridge, you can add a splash of milk or cream when reheating to loosen up the sauce.
