Friday comfort food

Fridays are always a tricky dinner day for me. I'm tired after the work week and the refrigerator is a bit echo-y.

Today I had the last of the memorial day pork tenderloin that needed to be used up ASAP. So... I googled leftover pork tenderloin. I found a website that listed several ideas but the winner had to be pasta - the ultimate comfort food for me. The website paired pork, white beans, and spinach. But no recipe Hey! I have all of that! I thought it sounded a bit dry so I added some fire roasted tomatoes and -whala- dinner was born!

Here are the basics of the recipe I came up with, but use whatever you have left in your fridge on Friday!
