Linguine with Asian-Style Pork

Luxury

16 oz linguine

2 Tbsp vegetable oil

1 lb boneless pork chops, cut into thin strips about ¼ x 2-inches

Salt and pepper to taste

1 pkg (16 oz) frozen broccoli stir fry vegetables

1 cup Asian or Sesame vinaigrette

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain reserving ½ cup water. 

Keep a-stirrin'!

Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork strips and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until pork is lightly browned, approximately 3 minutes. Add frozen vegetables and cook, stirring frequently until vegetables are crisp-tender and meat is fully cooked, about 10 to 12 minutes. 

I am an avid proponent of cooking with fresh produce. On the other hand, sometimes it's just one of those frozen-vegetable kinds of nights. 

Stir vinaigrette into pork mixture. Add cooked pasta to skillet and toss to combine. Stir in ½ cup reserve pasta liquid if a thinner sauce is desired. 

I like 'em thick and juicy, so don't Pilate nothin'. 

My Rating: 4/5 "Loved the sesame accents! The frozen vegetables weren't especially flavorful, but they also weren't obnoxious, which was nice. Pleasant and filling."
