Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Italian Stir-Fried Pork with Rotini.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once it’s bubbling, toss in the rotini pasta and cook it until it’s tender yet still has a delightful bite, which should take about 8 minutes.
Step 3
After cooking, drain the pasta and set it aside, letting it rest while you prepare the rest of the dish.
Step 4
Next, grab your electric skillet and heat up some olive oil over high heat, aiming for around 400°F (200°C).
Step 5
Once the oil is shimmering, add the pork strips and stir-fry them until they turn a beautiful golden brown, which should take about 5 minutes.
Step 6
The aroma will start to fill your kitchen, and you’ll know you’re on the right track! Now it’s time to add a burst of color and flavor.
Step 7
Toss in the zucchini, red onion, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, a pat of butter, and minced garlic.
Step 8
Stir-fry everything together until the vegetables are crisp-tender and the pork is fully cooked, which should take another 5 minutes.
Step 9
Just a quick tip: make sure the pork reaches an internal temperature of at least 145°F (60°C) for safe eating.
Step 10
Once your skillet is brimming with vibrant veggies and perfectly cooked pork, it’s time to bring it all together.
Step 11
Add the cooked rotini, a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, and a handful of freshly chopped basil.
Step 12
Gently toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the delicious sauce and all the flavors meld beautifully.
Step 13
And there you have it! A delightful dish that’s not only easy to make but also bursting with flavor.
Step 14
Enjoy your meal and the smiles it brings to the table!.
