Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain.

Step 3

Stir stewed tomatoes, cream of celery soup, and bay leaf into the pork mixture. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 12 to 14 minutes.
