Pork and Pasta Stew image

I especially like to make this stew in summer when I can use vegetables from my own garden. Because it doesn't simmer for hours, I often reach for this recipe when I need dinner in a hurry.

This stew is way too expensive to make. I can get a better stew at my local restaurant for half the price.

I made this stew last night and it was delicious! I used a pork shoulder roast instead of pork tenderloin, and it turned out perfectly. The meat was so tender and flavorful.

This pork and pasta stew was a hit with my family! The flavors were rich and savory, and the pork was fall-apart tender. I especially loved the addition of the sun-dried tomatoes, which gave the stew a nice tangy flavor.
