Any ideas for a pasta dish using leftover pork tenderloin?

house_cat · ‎03-09-2010

I grilled a 1 lb. tenderloin last night and actually have half of it leftover.

Does anyone have a suggestion for a pasta dish using the leftover grilled tenderloin?

Thank you.

I think I might add it to my favorite Mac & Cheese recipe. It sounds yummy and would give the M & C a grilled flavor.

House_cat, how did you treat the pork, i.e., rub, marinade, season? I have a recipe for pork and pineapple rice that might work with leftover pork, depending on how it was treated. Just whistle if interested.

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.

I used a marinade that included pineapple juice concentrate, chili powder and cumin.

The mac and cheese idea is good, but we had mac and cheese last week.

With that marinade - how about some linguine on penne in a light cream sauce of even alfredo with some peas or broccoli thrown in. I was going to suggest chopping it up and throwing in it with some pasta with garlic oul and broccoli but the spices seem to much - though I always make that when using up extra sausage.

I was leaning in that direction, too, mskitka. I have a jar of Alfredo sauce, but it's very heavy. I'll Google around for a lighter version.

Thank you.

Make Pork Stroganoff. Just add the cut up pork last so it just heats up good. Recooking it can make it tough. Enjoy!

That's a good idea, too, Zhills.

I found this light Alfredo recipe. Since Alfredo is DH's favorite, I'll use this tonight.

I'd do a few things with it. You could serve it over long grain rice with a few veggies ad chinese noodles, soy sauce or teryaki. YUM!!!

You could also make frittatas or quesadillas, chalupas, anything mexicano. YUM!!!

And if pasta, I like to sautee onions and a mix of colored peppers (I buy these, cut up and freeze big bags of them for readiness anytiime). You could add fresh mushrooms and/or olives. Cook any pasta, add too veggies. Add a little of (almost) any sauce to just coat. Salad, Garlic bread. YUM!!!
