Canned sauce is convenient, but homemade <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/simple-pasta-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/simple-pasta-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">tomato sauce<\/a> is also simple to make.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomato soup:<\/strong> Adding condensed tomato soup to the sauce brings a smooth, slightly sweet flavor that helps balance the acidity of the tomato sauce. It also thickens the sauce, giving it a creamy texture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Onion:<\/strong> Finely chopped onions are sauteed and cooked in the sauce, adding sweetness and depth to the overall flavor profile. Their natural sugars help to soften the tanginess of the tomatoes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bay leaf:<\/strong>\u00a0Bay leaf adds a subtle earthy flavor to the sauce, giving it a complex aroma.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Celery seed:<\/strong> This slightly peppery herb adds complexity to the sauce without overpowering the other ingredients.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Italian seasoning:<\/strong> This blend of dried herbs, including oregano, basil and thyme, brings a signature Italian flavor to the dish, complementing the tomato sauce and enhancing the savory pork.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pork chops:<\/strong> Bone-in chops have more flavor and stay juicier during cooking than boneless cuts. Slow-cooking them allows them to soak up the rich tomato sauce while remaining tender.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Olive oil:<\/strong> This aromatic oil is used to brown the pork chops, giving them a nice golden crust while sealing in moisture. It also enhances the richness of the sauce as the pork chops simmer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spaghetti:<\/strong> Twirl-worthy noodles soak up the flavorful tomato sauce. An al dente texture adds a satisfying bite to the dish, complementing the tender pork chops.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Directions<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the sauce<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2070586\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pork-Chops-And-Spaghetti_TOHD24_21660_AlejandroMonfort_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Of Home Pork Chops And Spaghetti\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Alejandro Monfort for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a 5-quart slow cooker, combine the tomato sauce, soup, onion, bay leaf, celery seed and Italian seasoning.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Brown the pork chops<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2070587\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pork-Chops-And-Spaghetti_TOHD24_21660_AlejandroMonfort_3.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Of Home Pork Chops And Spaghetti\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Alejandro Monfort for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In a large skillet, brown the pork chops in oil.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Slow-cook the pork chops<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2070588\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pork-Chops-And-Spaghetti_TOHD24_21660_AlejandroMonfort_4.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Of Home Pork Chops And Spaghetti\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Alejandro Monfort for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Add the browned chops to the slow cooker.

Keep the spaghetti separate from the sauce to prevent it from becoming too soggy; pasta can also be kept for up to four days in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze pork chops and spaghetti?<\/h3>\n<p>You can freeze the cooked pork chops and sauce in a freezer-safe container for up to three months. For best results, do not freeze the spaghetti; cook it fresh when reheating the pork chops and sauce.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you reheat pork chops and spaghetti?<\/h3>\n<p>Reheat the pork chops and sauce in a covered skillet over low heat until they&#8217;re warmed through, adding a splash of water or broth if the sauce thickens too much. You can also reheat it in the microwave in short bursts, stirring between bursts to ensure even heating. Cook fresh spaghetti or pasta to serve with the reheated pork chops and spaghetti sauce.<\/p>\n<h2>Pork Chops and Spaghetti Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2070592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Pork-Chops-And-Spaghetti_TOHD24_21660_AlejandroMonfort_8.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Taste Of Home Pork Chops And Spaghetti\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Alejandro Monfort for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can I use boneless pork chops instead of bone-in?<\/h3>\n<p>You can use boneless pork chops, but they may cook faster, so adjust the cook time accordingly to avoid overcooking them.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I use a different type of pasta?<\/h3>\n<p>You can swap spaghetti for other pasta varieties like fettuccine, linguine or even short <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-ultimate-guide-to-pasta-shapes\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/the-ultimate-guide-to-pasta-shapes\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pasta shapes<\/a> like penne.
