Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• 1 cup chicken broth
• ½ pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
• 4 ounces linguine pasta

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.

Step 2

Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the pork tenderloin, and cook until meat is no longer pink inside. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Step 3

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat; stir in mushrooms and cook until tender. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Once the broth is hot, stir the blue cheese and salt until the cheese has melted.

Step 4

Mix together the water and cornstarch and slowly add to the simmering broth. Cook for 1 minute until thick and clear, stirring continually. Serve over linguine and pork medallions.
