Preparation

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil.
  • Add pasta to boiling water and cook according to package directions.
  • Reserve 1/4 cup of the hot pasta water when you drain the pasta.
  • In a shallow dish, such as a pie pan, combine flour, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  • Dredge thin sliced pork chops in flour.
  • Gently shake off any excess seasoned flour.
  • Mince garlic.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
  • Slice one lemon into rounds for garnish.
  • Juice the other lemon, removing all seeds.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Cook pork chops in small batches, for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  • Over crowding the pan will cause the pork to steam and will not allow the meat to brown properly.
  • Remove meat from pan and set aside.
  • Add 1/2 of the garlic to the pan and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Deglaze the pan with juice of one lemon, about 2 tablespoons.
  • Scrape any browned bits loose with a wooden spoon.
  • Add chicken stock and drained capers.
  • Return pork chops to sauce to warm through and simmer until sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
  • While sauce is reducing, heat another large pan with 1 teaspoon of oil.
  • Add remaining 1/2 of minced garlic to pan and cook until fragrant.
  • Add spinach to garlic and oil cooking until just wilted, about two minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • In a large bowl toss together pasta, Parmesan cheese, reserved pasta water and garlic spinach.
  • Divide equally into four bowls.
  • Once sauce has thickened, about 1-2 minutes, remove from heat.
  • Place the pork chops on top of the pasta.
  • Gently melt butter into the sauce, stirring quickly to incorporate.
  • Taste for seasoning and add additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Spoon sauce over top of pork and pasta, garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately.
  • * Optional, add large pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to spinach while cooking.
