One Skillet Pork Pasta
Description
The recipe begins by searing diced pork tenderloin marinated in roasted garlic and cracked black pepper, giving the meat a flavorful crust. Sautéed onions and garlic add foundational aromatics. Campanelle pasta and canned diced tomatoes are combined with water, milk, and red chili flakes to form a cooking liquid in which the pasta simmers until tender, absorbing the sauce's flavors. The technique of cooking pasta in the sauce itself concentrates flavor while reducing cleanup.
Finishing the dish, grated cheddar cheese is stirred in off heat to melt smoothly, adding richness and sharpness that complements the pork and tomatoes. Fresh parsley garnish provides herbaceous brightness. Salt and black pepper are adjusted last to balance seasoning. The combination of spicy red chili flakes with creamy milk and sharp cheddar results in a subtly spicy, creamy pasta dish with tender pork bites.
