Shredded Roast Pork Loin and Pasta image

This recipe makes a delicious pasta sauce (which is considerably "lighter" and more subtle than a typical marinara) while using "leftover" pork loin roast. The results, when combined with a fresh green salad, make a quick and easy dinner. By the way, if you go to the trouble of bringing out the food processor for the tomatoes, put it to work on the vegetables as well. It speeds up the recipe and smooths out the pasta sauce.

I'm allergic to pork, so I made this recipe with chicken instead. It turned out great!

I had some trouble finding pork loin at my local grocery store. I ended up using pork shoulder instead, and it turned out great!

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and herbs to the sauce to give it more flavor.
