Made with egg noodles. I liked it well enough but the rest of the family was not impressed. Thanks for an interesting change of pace. -
Ver interesting pasta dish. I'm not so sure how much I liked the mixture of apples with pasta... But it was a great change from the everyday pasta dish. If I make this again I think I may leave out the apples but keep the other fruits. -
I found pre-cut pork at WalMart and used green onions instead of two small onions. Nice flavors but this didnt work well for my family. I think it was a little to sweet for them. I enjoyed the prunes and apricots a lot with the pork.
