Instructions

Season the pork steaks with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Cook the pork steaks in a skillet over medium-high heat for about 4-5 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). Set aside to rest.
Cook the rotini pasta according to the package instructions, then drain and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic and red pepper flakes in olive oil for about a minute.
Add chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Toss the cooked rotini pasta and grated Parmesan cheese into the skillet with the spinach. Mix until the pasta is coated and the cheese is melted.
Serve the pork steaks alongside the pasta and garnish with some additional cheese if desired.

Notes

Enhance the dish with sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red bell peppers if desired. Just before serving, drizzle some extra virgin olive oil over both the pasta and the steak for an extra layer of flavor. Serve this dish with a side of crusty garlic bread or a simple salad to complement the meal. Enjoy!
