Preparation

In a large skillet, melt butter. Add vegetable oil, mushrooms, onions, garlic, red bell pepper and oregano and cook over medium heat until onion is softened; set aside.

Cut pork tenderloin into 1 inch (2 1/2 cm) pieces. In a paper or plastic bag, add flour, chili powder, salt and pepper and shake to mix. Add pork and shake to coat.

Add floured pork and remaining flour mixture to the skillet and cook until pork is browned on all sides. Add milk, pasta and tomato sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and allow to simmer, covered, for 15 minutes or until pasta is tender.
