italian baked pork chops and penne alfredo
(1 rating)
A two-in-one recipe to satisfy your meat man, with a vegetarian pasta dish, combine the two for a tasty main dish! We have a variety of tastes in our family. Trying to satisfy everyone with one meal can be challenging. So I came up with this dish one night trying to accommodate everyone. We can't eat vegetarian every night! What I came up with is now requested often and a favorite for Sunday dinner parties. This recipe can also be made dairy-free. I substitute plain almond milk and non-dairy cheese.
