Garlic-Parmesan Pork Chops with Spinach, Mushrooms & Zucchini NoodlesGarlic-Parmesan Pork Chops with Spinach, Mushrooms & Zucchini Noodles — a 45-minute dinner recipe with 13 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 ½ (142 g) pkg baby spinach

355 ml chicken or vegetable broth

1 ½ (227 g) blocks cream cheese

0.68 kg cremini mushrooms

3 cloves garlic

85 g Parmesan cheese

6 pork chops, boneless

3 medium zucchini squash

black pepper

crushed red pepper

extra virgin olive oil

oregano, dried

salt

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the spinach if it came pre-washed.)

Trim zucchini and use a julienne (or regular) peeler to make noodles. Place in a medium bowl and set aside.

Preheat a large pot over medium-high heat.

While the pot heats up, pat pork chops dry with paper towels and place on a plate; season with salt and pepper on both sides.

Once the pot is hot, add oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Working in batches if necessary, add chops and pan-fry until golden brown and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer chops to a clean plate and loosely cover with aluminum foil. (Reserve pot for later use.)

Meanwhile, thinly slice mushrooms.

Peel and mince garlic.

Return pot to medium heat and add more oil. Add mushrooms and garlic to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms begin to soften, 5-6 minutes.

While the mushrooms are cooking, cut cream cheese into small pieces.

Finely grate Parmesan.

Add cream cheese, Parmesan, broth, and spices to the pot; stir until cheese is melted and combined. Bring to a simmer and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, 4-5 minutes.

Add spinach and zucchini noodles to the pot in handfuls, waiting for them to wilt slightly before adding the next handful.

Return pork chops to the pot and turn to coat in sauce.

To serve, divide saucy veggies and pork chops between plates. Enjoy!
