What You Need

1 cup penne pasta, uncooked

2 bone-in pork chops (3/4 lb.), 1/2 inch thick
1/4 cup KRAFT Classic Caesar Dressing, divided
1/2 cup KRAFT Shredded Parmesan Cheese, divided
1 cup baby spinach leaves
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes

Make It

COOK pasta in large saucepan as directed on package, omitting salt.

MEANWHILE, brush both sides of chops evenly with 2 Tbsp. dressing. Dip in half the cheese, turning to coat both sides of each chop. Heat large nonstick skillet on medium heat 5 min. or until very hot. Add chops; cook 2 min. on each side or until done (160ºF). Remove to plate; cover to keep warm.

DRAIN pasta; return to saucepan. Add spinach and garlic; cook and stir 1 min. or until spinach is wilted. Stir in remaining dressing, cheese and tomatoes; cook and stir 1 min. or until heated through. Serve with chops.

I used grated parmaesan cheese---shredded will definitely be better.
 
Review:
 
2 out of 2 adults loved this meal.  How can pork smothered in caesar dressing and cheese fried up in a pan taste bad--FYI--it can't.
3 out of 3 kids loved this meal.  All of them had 3rds.
 
This one is a keeper.  Super easy, super tasty.
