An easy and quick dinner:
For the squash (I roast ahead, then warm & toss with herbs when meat is ready):
- Cut in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds
- Drizzle cut sides with olive oil, salt, and pepper
- Place cut-side down on a baking sheet
- Roast at 400°F for about 30-40 minutes until tender but al dente (don’t overcook)
- Scrape into “noodles” with a fork and set aside
- When ready, warm and toss noodles with herbs:
- 2-3 cloves minced garlic sautéed in olive oil
- Grated parmesan
- Fresh parsley if you have it
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the pork:
- Butterfly the tenderloin and pat dry
- Spread Dijon mustard (or whole grain) evenly on the surface
- Season with salt, pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme
- Roast at 400°F in your toaster oven for about 15 minutes or until internal temp reaches 145°F
- Let rest 5 minutes before slicing
- While it rests, warm noodles
