Pork Paprikash

I wanted to make a chicken paprikash for awhile now. However, I saw a recipe for PORK paprikash on Martha Stewart's website and I was sold! This was really yummy. I love cream tomato sauces, and it was a change to have pork with pasta! Enjoy!

Ingredients
Coarse salt and ground pepper
8 ounces wide egg noodles
1 tablespoon butter, cut into pieces (I didn't use this, but you can butter the noodles if you like)
1 pork tenderloin (about 1 pound), excess fat and silver skin removed, halved lengthwise, then cut
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can (14 ounces) whole peeled tomatoes in juice
1/2 cup sour cream (I used lite)
Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles until tender; drain and return to pot. Stir in butter (optional); cover and set aside. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine pork with 1 tablespoon paprika; season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high; cook pork, tossing occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate (reserve skillet). Return skillet to stove; reduce heat to medium. Add remaining tablespoon oil and onion; cook until onion is soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add pork, remaining tablespoon paprika, tomatoes with their juice, and 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cook, until sauce is slightly thickened, breaking up tomatoes with a spoon, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove skillet from heat, and stir in sour cream; season with salt and pepper. Serve paprikash over noodles, garnished with parsley, if desired.
