Chop Spaghetti

Chops Spaghetti

So, on the menu for tonight is one of Dusty's childhood favorites. He is a pasta lover. When he was little his mom would use pork chops in spaghetti, rather than beef or chicken. This is a delicious, and simple recipe to make, give it a try on your next busy day!

Chops Spaghetti

• Take 2 small cans of tomato sauce and add in oregano, basil, parsley, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste (see my Homemade Cheese Pizza for the sauce recipe). Place in the crock-pot on low.
  

• You want to get a pork chop that is extra lean, boneless, and sliced thin (this is only about 4g fat and 100 calories!).

• Sear it in a pan with 3/4 tsp of almond oil (or olive) over a med-high heat.

• Place the seared chops in the crock-pot with the tomato sauce.

• Cover in the sauce, and cook on high for about 30 minutes, and then set to low and let it cook all day.

• Just before time to eat, cook your whole wheat spaghetti noodles, drain, and top off with the sauce and one chop.
  

• If desired, place a tiny amount of 2% mozzarella cheese or parmesan, but remember, moderation is the key to a healthy dish.

So, there you have it. The next time your day is jam-packed and you have no idea how you're going to fit in a healthy meal, just stick your seared chops and tomato sauce in the crock-pot and come back when you're ready to eat!

Always remember, you can have fun, eat great, and stay healthy all at the same time! :)
