Instructions

1. Dice the pork loin and beef sirloin into small cubes.

3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
4. Add the cubed pork and beef to the pan. Season with salt and sauté until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Set aside.

8. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.
9. Add the cooked meat back into the pan with the vegetables. Mix well and add a splash of the reserved pasta water to make a sauce.
