italian baked pork chops & 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 tatses in our family, & trying to satisfy everyone with one meal can be challenging. So I came up with this dish one night trying to accomodate everyone. We can't eat vegetarian every night! What I came up with is now requested often, & a favorite for Sunday dinner parties! This recipe can also be made dairy free. I substitute plain almond milk in place of milk, and non dairy cheese supplements in place of cheeses. You can find them in. A local health market.
