Ingredients

• ¾ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup sour cream
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
• ground black pepper to taste
• 1 cup sliced onion
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• ½ teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
• 1 (8 ounce) package fresh button mushrooms, sliced
• 1 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch chunks
• 6 ounces whole-grain penne pasta
• 1 ½ cups reduced-sodium beef broth, divided
• 1 (8 ounce) package broccoli, cut into bite-sized pieces

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.

Step 2

Meanwhile, whisk 1/2 cup broth, sour cream, flour, mustard, salt, thyme, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a small bowl.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Drain pasta and keep warm.

Step 4

Heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, broccoli, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are lightly browned and crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Return pork to the skillet. Add remaining broth. Bring mixture to a simmer.

Step 5

Reduce heat to medium. Stir sour cream mixture into the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until thickened and bubbly. Gently simmer until pork is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, about 2 minutes more.

Step 6

Serve pork mixture over pasta and sprinkle with parsley and additional black pepper.
