Pasta and Pork

Tonight was Jake's night to cook. He decided to cook a small pork roast and pasta, because we found some diced prosciutto at Grocery Outlet for 2 for a dollar.

For the pork, he put on a rub of salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, basil, and rosemary. He then seared it in a skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Then he placed it in the slower cooker, covered it with red wine and chicken stock, then let it cook for 4 hours.

For the pasta, he started a large pot of water boiling (don't forget to salt the pasta water), he dropped the pasta when he started the sauce. . He then took a deep skillet, placed 2 tbs olive oil, 1 small red onion chopped, 3 cloves chopped garlic, a few chopped mini carrots, 1/2 of a green bell pepper chopped, and 1/2 a yellow bell pepper chopped. He cooked those until the onion was transparent. He then deglazed the pan with 1/2 cup white wine, and 1 cup chicken stock. He brought it a boil, added thyme, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. He let it simmer until the pasta was done. He then drained the pasta and placed it in the sauce and tossed.
