1. Cook the Spaghetti:

   • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes, until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of pasta water for later.

2. Prepare the Pork:

   • While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced pork breast and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until it’s browned and cooked through. Remove the pork from the skillet and set it aside.

3. Make the Sauce:

   • In the same skillet, add butter and let it melt over low-medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
   • Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter and garlic, stirring constantly to make a roux. Cook for about 1 minute until it becomes slightly golden.
   • Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook the mixture on a low flame, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
   • Season with salt, pepper, and paprika, adjusting to taste.

4. Combine the Pork and Sauce:

   • Add the cooked pork breast back into the skillet with the sauce, stirring to coat the pork evenly.
   • Once the sauce has thickened to your liking, stir in the grated cheese until it melts and becomes part of the sauce.

5. Toss the Spaghetti:

   • Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to combine, making sure the pasta is well coated in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of reserved pasta water to loosen it up.

6. Serve:

   • Plate the creamy pork breast spaghetti and garnish with freshly chopped parsley and dill. Serve immediately for a comforting, flavorful meal.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
• Pair with a glass of white wine, such as Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc, to complement the creamy sauce.

Cooking Tips:

• Meat Variations: You can substitute pork with chicken breast or turkey for a leaner option.
• Sauce Consistency: If you prefer a thicker sauce, add a little more flour. For a thinner sauce, use more milk or a splash of pasta water.
• Herb Alternatives: Feel free to experiment with other fresh herbs like basil or thyme for additional flavor.
