Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons canola oil
One 1 1/2-pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
One 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes
8 ounces egg noodles or pappardelle
1/4 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
Dill sprigs, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • In a large deep skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil until shimmering. Add half of the pork and season with salt and pepper. Cook over high heat, turning occasionally, until lightly browned but not cooked through, about 5 minutes; transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining pork.

Stir in both paprikas and the cayenne, then stir in the flour and cook until fragrant and the mixture starts to stick to the bottom, about 1 minute.
  • Gradually stir or whisk in the broth and tomatoes until incorporated. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sauce is bubbling and slightly thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, add the noodles or pappardelle to the boiling water and cook as the label directs; drain.
