Nutrition

1

tablespoon olive oil
4

(4 ounce) well trimmed boneless pork loin chops
¹⁄₂

teaspoon crumbled dried rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
¹⁄₂

teaspoon salt (for seasoning chops)
1

small onion, chopped
1

garlic clove, peeled and minced
2 ¹⁄₂

cups sliced zucchini (1/4-inch thick)
2

cups pasta sauce
black pepper
4

ounces whole wheat spaghetti or 4 ounces regular spaghetti, cooked according to package directions

DIRECTIONS

Heat the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the pork chops and sprinkle both sides with the rosemary (or oregano) and salt, cook the chops, turning occasionally, until well browned on both sides, about 6-7 minutes.
Add the onion, garlic, and zucchini slices, and continue cooking until the onions are soft about 5-6 minutes longer.
Add the pasta sauce, stirring until it is well combined with the chops and vegetables, adjust the heat so that the sauce simmers gently and cook 6-8 minutes longer, or until the zucchini slices are crisp tender and the chops are just cooked through, tested in the thickest part with the point of a paring knife.
Serve the chops and zucchini sauce mixture over the pasta.
