Weeknight Dinner: Pizza Style Pasta

Bubbling on the stove top

This easy to make Monday night dinner is brought to you by quick and simple. And by that I mean, quick and simple meals that we all need in our repertoire. This made for a 20 minute dinner, and served with a tossed salad, is a complete meal. The thinner you slice the pork, the faster this will cook. You can substitute the pork for chicken breasts or beef cubes. Whatever you have in the fridge works. Broccoli was tossed in last minute, because let’s be honest? We didn’t have a balanced meal with a salad, so the broccoli counteracts that right?
