Steps:

Steps:
- Cook the sausages: Heat a large cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over high heat. When the skillet is hot, use a pair of metal tongs to arrange the sausages in a single layer. (There is no need for oil as the sausages will soon start to render their grease.) Turn the heat to medium and brown the sausages on all sides, taking care that they are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total. Remove the sausages to a medium bowl. Pour off the grease and add the wine, simmering over medium heat to reduce to about 1/4 cup liquid, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the reduced wine over the sausages and wipe the skillet clean.
- Cook the pork chops: Add the canola oil to the same skillet. Sprinkle the pork chops on all sides with salt. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, add the pork chops in a single layer and brown on all sides over medium heat, 5 to 8 minutes total. Remove the pork chops to the bowl with the sausages. Leave the grease in the skillet.
- Make the sauce: Stir the onions and garlic into the same skillet and cook over medium-low heat until translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt. Stir in the canned and cherry tomatoes with 1/2 cup water and simmer gently until the sauce is somewhat thick and tasty, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir the sausages and pork (and any meat juices) back into the sauce and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, then stir in the cheese, red wine vinegar and basil leaves. Taste for seasoning.
- Cook the pasta: Bring 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add a generous handful of salt and bring the water back to a boil. Taste the water. It should be salty like seawater. Add the pasta and stir with a large slotted spoon to ensure the pasta does not stick as it cooks. Cook until still quite firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
- Finish the dish: Spoon the meat over the pasta in individual bowls or serve in a large bowl, family style. You can also just leave the pot of meat and sauce and the pasta separate and let people serve themselves.

PORK SHOULDER PIZZAIOLA
When chef and Chopped judge Alex Guarnaschelli set out to write her third book, Cook with Me, she organized it around a simple idea: What are her favorite dishes to make at home when she's off duty? That meant featuring some newer recipes (like her naturally colored red velvet cake) alongside dishes from her childhood, like pork pizzaiola. Alex's mom, legendary cookbook editor Maria Guarnaschelli, used to make the hearty Neapolitan dish the moment the temperature dipped even slightly. "It was such a strange, indulgent thing, this pot of meat," Alex says, "but somehow it made sense." To update the pizzaiola, Alex used pork shoulder, which is fattier and less expensive than the pork chops her mom favored, and she added fish sauce for an unexpected layer of flavor. The dish is delicious on its own or ladled over pasta, polenta or meatballs.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350˚ F.
- Cook the sausages: Heat a Dutch oven over high heat and add the olive oil. Use a pair of metal tongs to arrange the sausages in a single layer in the hot oil. Reduce the heat to medium and brown the sausages on all sides until they are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the sausages to a plate and set aside.
- Cook the pork shoulder: Season the chunks of pork shoulder on all sides with salt. Add the pork to the Dutch oven in a single layer and brown it on all sides, 5 to 8 minutes on each side. Stir in the onions, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the white wine and cook, stirring often, until all of the liquid cooks out, 12 to 15 minutes. Stir in both the canned and fresh tomatoes, along with the anchovy fillets and fish sauce. Cover the pot and place it in the center of the oven. Cook until the meat is tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- Finish the meat: Remove the pot from the oven and use a large spoon to skim off any excess fat or impurities from the surface. Let the sauce rest on the stovetop on low heat while you cook the pasta.
- Cook the pasta: Fill a large pot with 4 quarts water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Add 4 tablespoons salt and bring the water back to a boil. Taste the water. It should be salty like seawater. Add the pasta and cook, stirring it with a large slotted spoon to ensure it does not clump or stick to the pot, until it is al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta, place it in a large bowl and toss it with the butter and a pinch of salt.
- Finish the dish: Stir the sausages into the sauce and then stir in the Parmesan, red wine vinegar and basil leaves. Taste for seasoning. Divide the pasta among individual bowls and serve the sauce and meat ladled over it, or serve it in a large bowl family-style.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and pepper. Add the pork chops to the skillet and cook until they are brown and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted horizontally into the pork registers 160 degrees F, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the pork chops to a plate and tent with foil to keep them warm. Add the onion to the same skillet and saute over medium heat until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juices, herbes de Provence, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Cover and simmer until the flavors blend and the juices thicken slightly, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and more red pepper flakes. Return the pork chops and any accumulated juices from the plate to the skillet and turn the pork chops to coat with the sauce. Place 1 pork chop on each plate. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops. Sprinkle with the parsley and serve.

PORK STEAK PIZZAIOLA
Steps:
- Rub the pork steaks in a little olive oil and adobo seasoning. If adobo isn't available try plain black pepper, southwest, cajun, or even a little chili powder. Set meat aside. Saute onion, garlic, & peppers in dutch oven with a little olive oil. I like to include some larger onion & pepper sizes (1/2" to 1" square). Remove from dutch oven & place in bowl. Add the pork steak to the dutch oven and brown 1-2 minutes per side. Remove meat from dutch oven. Add the wine and scrape the bottom of the dutch oven until free of meat crust. Allow the wine to simmer off for a few minutes (don't burn). Add the meat, onion/pepper mixture, and rest of the ingredients. Only add one can of water with the tomato paste. Simmer for 20 - 40 minutes. Serve over pasta with a good Chianti.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the pizzaiola will be. Look for fresh, flavorful pork, ripe tomatoes, and a good quality olive oil.
- Brown the pork thoroughly: This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming tough.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor, color, and texture to the dish. Some good options include onions, peppers, mushrooms, and zucchini.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you add too much food to the pan, it will steam instead of brown. Cook the pork and vegetables in batches if necessary.
- Season the dish well: Use a generous amount of salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
- Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Serve the pizzaiola over pasta or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Pork pizzaiola is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover pork. With its simple ingredients and flavorful sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
