1 lb boneless pork chops, can be thin-cut if desired
Olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup Italian style bread crumbs
1/2 lb thin linguini
1 cup (or more) of your favorite marinara
Parmesan cheese, to serve
First set a large pot of salted water over high heat. When it has come to a rolling boil, add your pasta and cook according to the package directions for "al dente" style. Meanwhile, lightly coat your pork chops with olive oil, and season to taste. Gently coat the chops with the bread crumbs. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Spray with cooking spray (or lightly drizzle to coat with olive oil) and add the pork chops. Heat for three minutes, making sure the bottom is nice and brown. Flip. Heat for an additional three minutes. If your pork chops are thicker, you'll need more time. Heat your marinara in the (gasp!) microwave (this really isn't a from-scratch recipe!!). Drain your pasta and top with the pork chops, the sauce and as much parmesan as you like. Enjoy!
