Let’s do a nice little Sunday dinner today.
And a kind of cozy one too! Because here in Colorado it is still very much winter. We are currently getting pounded with snow. Like so much snow, we probably got close to two feet in just one hour on Friday and there is supposed to be another two feet on its way. It almost brought me to tears on Friday, but then a lot of things almost brought me to tears on Friday. It was that kind of a day. BUT, today is Sunday and we are making pasta!! Pasta is a definite pic-me-up!
I feel like I’ve mentioned this before, but Sunday night dinners, no matter what time of the year, are always my favorite meal of the week. When we were kids Sunday was the one night of the week the whole family would actually be at the table at the same time. It was madness, but I still loved them. This 30 Minute Garlic Butter Pasta with Herbed Pork Bolognese is my ideal pick for a Sunday night dinner. It’s a good mix of cozy and fresh, and it’s super quick to cook up and simple to make. Just start off by browning some marinated garlic pork. I used Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork Sirloin to help make this dinner fast and easy! I love having these cuts of meat on hand for quick dinners, they can be a real life saver on busy nights when you need to get dinner on the table ASAP, but don’t want to compromise on flavor and wholesome ingredients.
Alright, so once you brown the pork, add some fresh spring tomatoes (I used heirlooms!), a little red wine and loads of basil…oh and a little cream!! Let that simmer while you make the garlic butter pasta, complete with yes – lots of garlic, plus butter and herbs too!
Nothing better. 🙂
Finish the dish off with a healthy side of parmesan kale.
Done and DONE.
Think of this pasta as similar to Chicken Parmesan Bolognese, but made with lean, herbed, garlic flavored pork. It’s kind of EPIC and something your whole family will LOVE. Okay, so maybe not everyone will be into the kale, but they will for sure love this Pasta Pork Bolognese! 🙂
Hope you all have a great Sunday filled with fun activities, sunshine and like ZERO snow! Ugh. the snow. I’m going to go eat all the pineapples I have left and pretend I am on a beach. Positive thoughts, positive thoughts…

YAY always love hearing its a hit! Thanks Dawn
I’m all for a 30 minute pasta and I have some serious envy over those gorgeous heirlooms!
Ahh Thank you!
We were sitting poolside with weather in the high 80s. It feels like summer here already!
Im SOO jealous!
You had me at garlic! Looks divine and the photos are beautiful!
Thanks so much Liz!
Looks amazing and you shots make it even more appetizing! Love it!
Thank you so much!
Looks wonderful. Comfort food is my favorite but for some reason, summer seems to be coming early to Seattle. I love summer but I’m not quite there yet. It would be awesome if you could put up some pictures of your snow!
Thank you!! You sound like my brothers!! Haha. I can try and take some!! If you add me on snapchat I post a lot there too!! @hbharvest
Mhmmm looks like such a hearty meal. Forever in love with your photos.
(: Thank you soo much!
Sounds really good. Thank you and have a Great Sunday!
Thanks Liz! You to:)
I don’t eat red meat anymore but I have to admit that this looks amazing! It’s only lunchtime here on Sunday but hey, pasta can work for that too!
Thanks Cassie!! Pasta alway does the trick anyway(:
I’m ready to dive into that plate of food.
It’s 10:00 here but I’ll eat that for breakfast.
Great pictures!
YAY Thank you lots Nancy!
Looks absolutely great – but when did the pork get cut into small pieces that appear on the plates?
I imagine this seasoned pork is sold at most stores, right?
Hi! Yes, the seasoned pork is sold in most grocery stores and I fixed the recipe to read correctly now. You just need to cut the pork before browning it. Let me know if you have any other questions, thanks!
Bolognese is always the perfect way to get through a snowy day… such a gorgeous recipe, Tieghan! Hang in there… spring will be there soon! It’s finally warming up here in Virginia 🙂
Springs looking further away for me!! Hopefully soon!!
This is definitely the perfect mix of cosy and fresh and my kinda pasta! Sounds like a lot of snow – I’m in London and we actually have a nice sunny spring day today! It never lasts long though. Happy Sunday!
Thanks Vicky! Sounds really nice to me!!
