Ingredients
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 lb Marinated Fresh Pork
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 8 oz pasta, dry
  • 1⅔ cup chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese (I used a three cheese blend)
Instructions
  1. Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high.
  2. Cook cut pork in skillet until browned on both sides and almost cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
  3. Add another Tbsp of oil to skillet and cook onions until translucent.
  4. Add pasta, chicken broth, and water to skillet and bring to a boil.
  5. Cook 12 - 15 min until noodles are al dente and most of the water is absorbed.
  6. Mix in the frozen peas.
  7. Add cooked pork back to the skillet.
  8. Stir in heavy cream and cheese until cheese is melted. Continue stirring for about 5 minutes while sauce thickens.
Notes
If you prefer softer peas, add them to the pasta about 10 minutes into cooking. I like a little bite, so I add mine after the pasta is cooked.
