1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1/4 teaspoon dried cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

PORK:

Salt and black pepper

Combine all ingredients for the Cajun Spice Rub in a small bowl.

Cut pork into 1/4-inch-thick slices,** coat all sides with Cajun Spice Rub.

Spray large skillet with cooking spray. Heat over medium heat until hot. Cook and stir pork 2 to 3 minutes on each side until browned and no longer pink in center. Remove from skillet; set aside.

Add okra to skillet; cook 3 to 5 minutes or until browned.

Add bell peppers, jalapeno pepper, onion and chicken broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, 3 to 5 minutes or until vegetables are crisp-tender.

Add pork and cook 2 to 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

Place pasta on serving platter; spoon pork mixture over top and toss.

*Jalapeno peppers can sting and irritate the skin; wear rubber gloves and do not touch eyes. Wash hands after handling.

**If you choose to grill the pork tenderloin, it can be grilled whole, rather than in slices.
