Pounded Pork Parmesan With Linguine

• 1 (12-oz.) package linguine
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 boneless center-cut pork chops (about 1 1/4 lb.)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 large egg, lightly beaten
• 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
• 1 (26-oz.) jar tomato-and-basil pasta sauce
• 2 cups (8 oz.) shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup (2 oz.) grated Parmesan cheese
• Garnish: chopped fresh basil

1. Prepare linguine according to package directions; drain. Toss with butter. Set aside, and keep warm.
2. Place pork between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness, using a rolling pin or the flat side of a meat mallet.
3. Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Dredge pork in flour mixture, dip in beaten egg, and dredge in breadcrumbs.
4. Saute pork, in batches, in hot oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Arrange pork in a single layer in a 13- x 9-inch baking dish.
5. Stir 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh basil into pasta sauce. Top pork evenly with pasta sauce, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
6. Bake at 400u0b0 for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly browned. Garnish, if desired. Serve immediately with hot buttered linguine.
