INGREDIENTS

  • 4 ounces linguine pasta
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1 inch medallions
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

DIRECTIONS

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  2. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pork tenderloin, and cook until meat is no longer pink inside. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat; stir in mushrooms and cook until tender. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Once the broth is hot, stir the blue cheese and salt until the cheese has melted.
  4. Mix together the water and cornstarch and slowly add to the simmering broth. Cook for 1 minute until thick and clear, stirring continually. Serve over linguine and pork medallions.

This was pretty good. Although I hate to see people say they added stuff to a recipe on here, I did the same. I added one clove of crushed garlic to the butter before I fried the chops, and added julienned red peppers about 2 minutes before I added the mushrooms. The sauce was perfectly seasoned with just the salt. Note that, if you're like me and have double servings of pasta, you might want to increase the sauce ingredients by 25 - 50%. It was really good though. Will make it again.

This is a great dish. I didn't find the flavor of the blue cheese to be overpowering and probably would have preferred to use a little more.

I really liked this recipe, but I think it would be even better with the addition of a splash of wine in the sauce. I also think this would be really good over rice. Alas, I won't get to try those suggestions. Even though my hubs likes blue cheese, he hated this recipe, and has threatened to make his beefaroni if I ever make it again. I'm not taking any chances!
