I was looking for some way to use up pork tenderloin in my freezer. I had all the ingredients on hand. Substituted veggie broth for the chicken broth, and added Italian seasoning. Also used a different kind of past, but this is a versatile recipe. LOVED the end result and hubby loved it, too! The trick is to let it simmer long enough to let the sauce thicken. I'll probably play around with this next time, like add mushrooms.

Me and my husband enjoyed this very much. The only thing I changed since I did not have chicken broth, is that I used water and added some chicken bouillon powder which worked the same in my opinion.

I gave it 4 starts because of 2 things...my 5 year old asked for seconds and my 7 year old said she likes spinich now. I would change it a little. I think it needs a little more flavor and needs to be saucier. After I tweek it this will be a regular at my house.
