Pork Tendorloin with a Zesty Blue Cheese Mushroom Gravy Over Noodles

Ingredients

1 package of spaghetti noodles
EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
Pre-Packaged Black Peppercorn marinated Pork Tenderloin (sliced in to round pieces)
1 Cup of sliced baby portabella mushrooms
1 clove of minced garlic
1/2 cup of white wine (I used Bohemian Highway's Pinot Grigio)
4 oz package of Blue Cheese crumbles
1 Tablespoon of Dijon mustard
1 cup of milk (use what you have skim, 2%, or whole)
2 Teaspoons of corn starch
2 cups of chicken stock

Directions

1. Go ahead and put your water on to boil your noodles. I recomend adding a tablespoon of salt to your water and a dash of EVOO.

2. In a pan add just enough EVOO to coat the bottom of the pan, turn pan on medium high heat and add pork tenderloin slices. The tenderloin will splatter so a splatter guard or lid may come in handy.

3. After about 4 minutes turn pork tenderloin to sear other side. After 3 minutes completely remove from the pan.

4. Add the sliced mushrooms, garlic, salt and pepper and stir to coat and scrape bits off bottom of pan.

5. Deglaze pan with white wine, simmer for about 3 minutes stirring occasionally. Turn down heat to medium.

6. Add in package of blue cheeze crumbles and dijon mustard, stir constantly to melt in to the white whine.

7. Disolve your cornstarch in your milk (just by stirring) and add this mixture to the sauce. As soon as it boils it will begin to thicken...as it thickens slowly add your chicken stock to get your desired consistancy. You may need more or less of the chicken stock. You want the sauce to coat your spoon, but cover your noodles as well.

8. Add your spaghetti noodles to boiling salted water and cook according to package directions.

9. After getting your sauce to the desired thickness, add your cooked pork tenderloin back to the pan and simmer in the sauce on low for about 15 minutes.

10. Take two/three peices of pork and place on top of the noodles and cover with a ladle of mushrooms and sauce.


This meal is great served with a side salad!
