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.
