This can be a quick dish made from leftovers in the fridge, especially grilled pork chops or made entirely fresh. If made from leftovers, it may only take 20 minutes to prepare, mostly cooking the pasta. Vegetables can be added to the dish, or eaten separately. When I first learned to live gluten free, I thought I wouldn't be able to cook this dish anymore. Thankfully, I can, although the noodles take a little more effort since they cook at a lower temperature to avoid breaking up too easily. Add a few vegetables and you have food for several meals.
