• 1⁄3 cup marsala wine

11. Place pork chops in a single layer, in a lg round or square casserole dish (I used my frying pan, because it is oven proof, or you can use an iron skillet -- this would work great too) but if you don't have one, use a casserole dish for this dish.

Gave it a try tonite, and I tell you, I've never seen my family suck down a new recipe like they did this one! I changed a few things: no marsala, used red wine instead no ziti, used rigatoni added about 1 tsp of Dijon mustard to the sauce I made it with country-style pork loin, half-fat soup, and fat-free sour cream. Lots of fat cut out, no loss of taste. Fabulous recipe! Thanks!

I made this for my family and everyone complimented the chef! My DGS went back for more, and he's real fussy! DD and I have decided to add it to our repotoire of monthly meals. This would be good with shrimp, steak or chicken too! Wendy

This was a solid recipe if you are looking for a casserole kind of thing. Maybe not a throw it together, quick, I am nuts and in a hurry but takes it up a notch. I used rice instead of the noodles following the recipe otherwise. It turned out good and the leftovers were equally as well. Thanks for sharing this.

Excellent recipe! I have prepared this dish several times now as it has become a new favorite around here. I used the dry Marsala, not the sweet. I also used low sodium Cream Of Mushroom soup with excellent results. I have now made with chicken and shrimp and they are all delicious! 2-12-08 My company and family loved it! I doubled the recipe to make enough for all of us and it worked out great. I will be making this one often! You could change up the pork with chicken or shrimp I'm sure. Christina

This sounded so good I just had to make it for my family. We all gave it 5 stars and would have given more if we could have! This is an easy incredibly delicous dish Linda and one we will be making many times in the future. My DH says to make sure I make this at least once a month from now on, and THAT is the highest compliment I can give!
