Italian Chops With Pasta

• 4 bone-in pork loin chops (8 ounces each)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium green pepper, chopped
• 1 medium red onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/3 cup dry red wine or chicken broth
• 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
• 1-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
• Hot cooked penne pasta
• Shredded Parmesan cheese, optional

1. Sprinkle pork chops with salt and pepper. Brown chops in oil in a large skillet. Remove and keep warm. Saute green pepper and onion in the same skillet until crisp-tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
2. Add wine, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is almost evaporated. Add tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until sauce is slightly thickened.
3. Return chops to the skillet. Cover and simmer for 3-5 minutes or until a thermometer reads 145u0b0. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with pasta. Sprinkle with cheese if desired.
