Recipe for Cajun Seasoned Pork Chops
This recipe is so easy, I’m not sure if it really should be called a recipe!

• 1 – 2 Center Cut Pork Chops [per serving], all visible fat removed
• Cajun Seasoning

1. Place 1 tbsp of olive or canola oil in a non-stick skillet, and heat over medium heat for 1 minute.
2. Reduce heat to low. Add the pork chops, and sprinkle with Cajun Seasoning.
3. Cover pan, and cook 8 – 10 minutes, depending on thickness of the chops, until lightly browned. Thin chops made need less time. Turn, season other side with Cajun Seasoning and cook other side about 5 – 7 minutes.

4. Add the vegetables to the pasta and mix.
5. Pour the Salad Supreme/Italian Dressing seasoning over top of the pasta and toss gently to season pasta and vegetables.
6. Sprinkle each serving with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
