Ingredients

For the Marinade

¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup olive oil
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
2 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp smoked paprika
2- pound pork tenderloin cut into 1¼” cubes

For the Kabobs and Pasta

12 large bamboo skewers
2 bell peppers 1 red + 1 green, cut into 1¼” squares
1 medium red onion cut into 1¼” pieces
2 cups pineapple cut into 1¼” pieces
16 oz. farfalle pasta
1 Tbsp olive oil
8-10 cloves roasted garlic, minced (see note) ~½ head
1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
¼ cup fresh basil sliced
black pepper

Instructions

For the Marinade

In a small bowl, whisk together all marinade ingredients except pork.
Using a shallow dish, add pork cubes and marinade; toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.

For the Kabobs and Pasta

If using bamboo skewers, soak skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat grill to medium-high heat (~375°-400°F).
Thread the pork, bell peppers, onions and pineapples onto skewers.
Grill the kabobs over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, for 10-12 minutes, or until pork is fully cooked.
Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package instructions; reserve ½ cup of pasta water.
Using a large sauté pan, add olive oil and roasted garlic. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes.
Add the cooked pasta, tomatoes and sliced basil. (If necessary, add ~⅓-½ cup of reserved pasta water to loosen pasta at this stage.) Divide pasta onto plates and top with freshly ground black pepper and two grilled pork kabobs before serving.

Notes

I often keep roasted garlic in the freezer as an easy way to flavor pasta, soups, etc. It's easy to make, and it's a huge flavor booster! If you don't have any roasted garlic on hand, then check the olive bar at your local grocery store. Many stores have an olive bar in their deli section, and often roasted garlic is available there. It's an easy way to pick up however much you need for a recipe!
