One pan pork Marsala is a quick and easy take on the classic chicken Marsala recipe. One pot recipes like this one are so perfect for busy weeknight meals and come packed with traditional Italian flavors and a bonus of being ready in 30 minutes or less.
During the week, our schedule is absolutely insane. So, I need recipes that are easy and fast to make sure my family still gets a home cooked meal versus delivery from some local restaurant. We are big chicken marsala fans but I rarely have the time to create one of our classic Italian favorites at home. Right now, one pan meals, like this one pan pork marsala, are my savior.
One pan meals are awesome because, not only do they cook fast but the clean up is simple too! The flavor for this one pan pork marsala is even more amazing because I start with Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork.
Smithfield Marinated Fresh Pork is available in a variety of fresh cuts, including loin filets, sirloins, tenderloins, and roasts with flavors like Roasted Garlic & Herb, Slow Smoked Mesquite, Sweet Teriyaki, Applewood Smoked Bacon, and more. It is so versatile and can even be sliced or cubed, as I do in this recipe, to cook it even faster or for use in even more recipes!
One of the key ingredients for any marsala recipe is mushrooms. I use cremini mushrooms because they offer a great, earthy flavor. If you can’t find those, you can easily use white or button mushrooms as a substitute.
A traditional Italian Marsala is typically made with chicken cutlets and never served with pasta. However, most of the Italian-American versions come with some form of pasta on the side.
To make this an easy weeknight dish, I went with a one pot pasta recipe that features all the flavors of a class Marsala but with pork instead of chicken…and, of course, pasta.
I use linguine pasta because it always holds up well in a one pan recipe. Feel free to substitute spaghetti or a short cut pasta like ziti but keep in mind you will need to short the cooking time.
This one pan marsala recipe is perfect with a simple side salad and some fresh bread to make a complete meal. It also makes a lot which is perfect for feeding a crowd or planning leftovers for the next day.
This dish is so full of flavor and tastes like you simmered the sauce for hours. But, it is all ready in less than 30 minutes and only takes one pan to make! Talk about a win-win for weeknight meals!

This look fabulous. I am always looking for new ways to get dinner on the table quickly. Which sounds strange from a food blogger, I know.
Thanks for sharing on #TastyTuesdays.

Loved this meal.. My only change would be to reduce the cook time. The pork was slightly overcooked (chewy) and the pasta doesn’t need 15 minutes of simmer time. Next time I’ll try 10 minutes of simmer time.
