Ingredients
2 pork tenderloin steak cut butterfly style  ($2.50)
Garlic salt and pepper to taste (.30)
1 ½ tbsp. Angie’s Basting Oil (My Link is below.) (.45)
2 cups Broccoli ($1.45)
2 ½ tbsp. Pesto (.90)
Linguine Pasta (the 8 oz. bag= $2.29)
 
Directions
Clean and season the pork with Garlic salt and pepper and 1 tbsp. Angie’s Basting Oil, refrigerate.
Cook the spinach pasta according to the package directions, add Garlic salt and pepper to the water to taste.
While the pasta cooks, cut the broccoli into spears and blanch them in the same pasta pot until they turn dark green and not mushy, about 3 minutes, drain well, (and then sauté in the pork-skillet later).
Simultaneously, sauté the pork until golden brown, remove to let them rest.
Drain the pasta, add ½ tsp. of my basting oil, toss, add 2 tbsp. of Pesto and stir well.
Plate a good portion on each plate and drip a bit more of Pesto to garnish.
Place the pork on top and garnish the plate with broccoli florets. Done!
