Pork Tenderloin with Mustard Sauce

Serve quick-cooking pork tenderloin in a zesty Dijon mustard sauce over egg noodles for dinner tonight. The noodles soak up the extra sauce so you don't lose any flavor. Pair with steamed asparagus or broccoli.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 3 pork slices, about 3 tablespoons sauce, and about 1/2 cup noodles)

Ingredients

• 2  cups  uncooked medium egg noodles
• 1  tablespoon  olive oil
• 1  (1-pound) pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut crosswise into 12 (1-inch-thick) slices
• 1/2  teaspoon  black pepper
• 1/4  teaspoon  salt
• 1  cup  dry white wine
• 3  tablespoons  whole-grain Dijon mustard
• 2  tablespoons  water
• 2  teaspoons  cornstarch

Preparation

Cook noodles according to package directions, omitting salt and fat; drain.

While the noodles cook, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork with pepper and salt. Place pork in pan; cook 5 minutes, turning once.

Combine the wine and mustard; pour into pan. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10 minutes. Remove pork from pan; keep warm.

Combine water and cornstarch in a small bowl. Stir cornstarch mixture into pan; bring to a boil, and cook 1 minute or until thick. Serve pork with sauce and noodles.
