Herb-Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti Squash

An easy and quick dinner:

For the squash (I roast ahead, then warm & toss with herbs when meat is ready):

  1. Cut in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds
  2. Drizzle cut sides with olive oil, salt, and pepper
  3. Place cut-side down on a baking sheet
  4. Roast at 400°F for about 30-40 minutes until tender but al dente (don’t overcook)
  5. Scrape into “noodles” with a fork and set aside
  6. 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:

  1. Butterfly the tenderloin and pat dry
  2. Spread Dijon mustard (or whole grain) evenly on the surface
  3. Season with salt, pepper, minced garlic, rosemary, and thyme
  4. Roast at 400°F in your toaster oven for about 15 minutes or until internal temp reaches 145°F
  5. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing
  6. While it rests, warm noodles
