Ingredients

• 12 oz Spaghetti
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 lb Boneless pork loin, diced
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 8 oz Crimini mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Grated parmesan cheese
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced pork, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and cook until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove the vegetables and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, ensuring no lumps remain. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 7

Stir 1 cup of grated parmesan into the sauce until melted and smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste, if needed.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, pork, mushrooms, garlic, and creamy sauce. Toss until everything is well-coated.

Step 9

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 10

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top. Then, sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the cheese for a golden, crispy topping.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Step 13

Serve warm and enjoy your Pork Tetrazzini!
