Neapolitan Pork Chops and Spaghetti

Submitted by Candace Michelle 2

"From my Granny's cookbook, "Prize Winning Recipes from Around the World." This is a lot like a recipe I used to adore from a local italian restaurant. They would let the sauce simmer a long time and it was sooooo succulent, the pork chops would just fall apart. MMMmm."

Thanks for sharing this, it was outstanding! I was looking for a recipe that I could make with what I had at hand and luckily, I found yours. I'll definitely be making this again. I could sip the sauce with a straw, it was so good.

This was a wonderful recipe and my family really enjoyed it. It was a wonderful alternative to our usual spaghetti.
