Crockpot Pork and Mushroom Breadcrumb Pasta

March 26, 2016 by Jennifer 2 Comments

\I know, it sounds weird. But there’s something really delicious about bread crumbs in pasta. I love the texture it gives, they’re like little nuggets of deliciousness! If you want to add a bit of color, simmer some fresh peas and toss them in at the end.

Crockpot Pork and Mushroom Breadcrumb Pasta

Crockpot Pork and Mushroom Breadcrumb Pasta

Ingredients

  • Pork Butt
  • 1 Jar Green Salsa
  • 2 Cups Penne Pasta
  • 8 oz Sliced Mushrooms
  • 1 Tbs Butter
  • 1/3 Cup Italian Breadcrumbs (or you can use crushed homemade croutons)
  • Sour Cream

Instructions

  1. In the morning, put the sliced mushrooms and pork but in the crockpot on low with the whole jar of green salsa
  2. When you get home from work- or 6 hours later, whichever comes first (in our case sometimes it's closer to 10 hours later) - take the pork out and dice it into about 1/2 cubes
  3. Save the cooking liquid
  4. Cook the penne per direction on the bag
  5. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saute pan over medium heat, and stir the breadcrumbs around for a few minutes to get nice and crunchy (no need to do this step if you're using crushed croutons)
  6. When the pasta is cooked, drain and return to the pot, saving 1/2 cup of pasta water
  7. Add the diced pork, the 1/2 cup pasta water, and enough of the cooking liquid so make it saucy
  8. Add the breadcrumbs
  9. Lightly toss
  10. Serve with a dollop of sour cream on top

    Yeah, I think this is why we love to top almost any casserole with panko crumbs -- love that bit of buttery crunch along with the usually creamy casserole dish. This looks delish!
