A full-plate dinner simmers to saucy, savory perfection in the slow cooker. To end up with super-succulent pork, don't overcook the chops in the pan before adding to the slow cooker. Just a couple of minutes per side will be enough to achieve nice color. Don't be afraid of the time, you will only be actively preparing and cooking for about 20 minutes as the rest cooks away in the slow-cooker for 7 hours until the meat and vegetables are tender.

I actually did this on the stove and it was fabulous! Working in Napa Valley I am a foodie and pretty good cook; I first cooked 2 inch thick bone-in center cut pork chops, in a large deep skillet in EVOO, then put the chops in a warm oven, deglazed the pan with the wine and a splash of cognac. Then added all the other ingredients, including the other reviewer's suggestion of Dijon and a diced apple, reduced it, then tossed in the cooked pasta and topped it with the chops and fresh chopped Italian parsley. Yum!!

Delicious. Based on reviews I changed/added the following:

Increased sherry vinegar to 1/4 cup
Added a tablespoon of Dijon mustard
Added a tablespoon of honey
Added a sliced apple
Added a sliced onion
Also made sure browned pork chops sat above the broth

I've made this several times and my family just loves it. I follow the recipe exactly. It's important to buy bone-in chops as I think that's part of the reason why this works and doesn't dry out the pork. The next time I make it I'll try it in my multicooker and save some time.

Thanks for sharing the pressure cooker info. Wonder how many slow cooker recipes can be switched over. I'm always looking for an excuse to use mine.

The pork came out entirely too dry. Although I doubled the amount of herbs, the pasta and vegetable mix was just okay.

The recipe looked so pretty in the magazine yet came out colorless even though I used rainbow carrots. The flavor was very bland even though I used a tone of herbs. The pork came out very dry too.

This was really good. I actually made it in my pressure cooker because I started the recipe too late in the day. One hour in the pressure cooker simulates all day in the crockpot. I also substituted baby bella mushrooms because my local grocery store didn't have shitake. This came out great. I loved that it was a one pot meal as well.
