Creamy Pork and Mushroom Pasta Ingredients

• 250 g Pasta (farfalle, penne, rigatoni or any other of your preference)
• 400 g Pork filet, sliced
• 200 g Mushrooms (Champignons, Portobello, White Button or any other similar mushroom of your choice)
• 1 Onion, finely chopped
• 1 Tablespoon Unsalted butter
• ½ Lemon (to season the pork)
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 250 ml Cooking cream (I use low fat)
• 30 g Shredded parmesan
• 50 g Dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)
• 1 Handful Fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

How to Make the Best Creamy Pork and Mushroom Pasta

1. Slice and season the pork with lemon, salt and pepper. Mix the seasons well.
2. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Add 1 teaspoon of salt in the cooking water.
3. While the pasta cooks, add the olive oil, onion and pork into a pan over medium-high heat. Cook for around 4-5 minutes.
4. The pork should be still a bit under cooked (don’t overcook it otherwise the pork will get too dry)
5. Add the garlic, mushrooms, and dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Add the cooking cream, parmesan and parsley and cook it for another minute.
6. Add the cooked pasta (drained) into the pan, mix everything. Adjust the salt and pepper if necessary.
7. Garnish with some extra Parmesan.
8. Serve it immediately.

Recipe Tips

1. Prefer using tender pork cuts like pork loin or pork tenderloin.
2. Make sure to add the lemon, so the pork is softer when cooking.
3. Don’t overcook the pork, otherwise it may get to dry.
