Servings4
Cook Time20 Minutes
Ingredients
2 cups penne pasta, uncooked
4 bone-in pork chops, 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup Kraft Classic Caesar Dressing, divided
1 cup shredded parmesan, divided
2 cups baby spinach leaves
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
Directions
  1. Cook pasta per package directions. Meanwhile, heat large nonstick skillet on medium. Top each pork chop with 1 tablespoon dressing and 2 tablespoons cheese, pressing into dressing to secure.
  2. Add 2 pork chops to skillet, cheese sides down; cook 4 minutes per side or until done. Transfer to plate and cover to keep warm. Repeat with remaining pork chops.
  3. Drain pasta; add to skillet along with spinach and garlic. Cook and stir 1 minute or just until spinach is wilted. Stir in remaining ¼ cup dressing, ½ cup cheese, and tomatoes; cook and stir 1 minute. Serve with chops.

Tip:
This recipe uses half a bottle of Kraft Caesar Dressing. Use the other half to: marinate meat, toss with veggies before roasting, spread on a burger bun, or to use it in place of mayo in tuna or chicken salad.
