1 (12-oz.) package linguine |
2 tablespoons butter |
4 boneless center-cut pork chops (about 1 1/4 lb.) |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
1 cup italian-seasoned breadcrumbs |
1/2 cup olive oil |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil |
1 (26-oz.) jar tomato-and-basil pasta sauce |
2 cups (8 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese |
1/2 cup (2 oz.) grated parmesan cheese |
garnish: chopped fresh basil |
Directions:
1. Prepare linguine according to package directions; drain. Toss with butter. Set aside, and keep warm.
2. Place pork between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat mallet.
3. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge pork in flour mixture, dip in beaten egg, and dredge in breadcrumbs.
4. Sauté pork, in batches, in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Arrange pork in a single layer in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
5. Stir 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil into pasta sauce. Top pork evenly with pasta sauce, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
6. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly browned. Garnish, if desired. Serve immediately with hot buttered linguine.
