Steps:
- Cook the sausages: Heat a large cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over high heat. When the skillet is hot, use a pair of metal tongs to arrange the sausages in a single layer. (There is no need for oil as the sausages will soon start to render their grease.) Turn the heat to medium and brown the sausages on all sides, taking care that they are cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total. Remove the sausages to a medium bowl. Pour off the grease and add the wine, simmering over medium heat to reduce to about 1/4 cup liquid, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the reduced wine over the sausages and wipe the skillet clean.
- Cook the pork chops: Add the canola oil to the same skillet. Sprinkle the pork chops on all sides with salt. When the oil begins to smoke lightly, add the pork chops in a single layer and brown on all sides over medium heat, 5 to 8 minutes total. Remove the pork chops to the bowl with the sausages. Leave the grease in the skillet.
- Make the sauce: Stir the onions and garlic into the same skillet and cook over medium-low heat until translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt. Stir in the canned and cherry tomatoes with 1/2 cup water and simmer gently until the sauce is somewhat thick and tasty, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir the sausages and pork (and any meat juices) back into the sauce and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, then stir in the cheese, red wine vinegar and basil leaves. Taste for seasoning.
- Cook the pasta: Bring 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add a generous handful of salt and bring the water back to a boil. Taste the water. It should be salty like seawater. Add the pasta and stir with a large slotted spoon to ensure the pasta does not stick as it cooks. Cook until still quite firm, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
- Finish the dish: Spoon the meat over the pasta in individual bowls or serve in a large bowl, family style. You can also just leave the pot of meat and sauce and the pasta separate and let people serve themselves.

My favorite cousin shared this recipe, and I tweaked it for our family. Taste as you go, and try the Italian trick of sprinkling on some oregano to give it that extra something. -Lorraine Caland, Shuniah, Ontario

Tips:
- When choosing pork chops, look for ones that are about 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during cooking.
- To make sure the pork chops are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The chops should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check the doneness of the pork chops by cutting into one of them. The meat should be opaque and slightly pink in the center.
- The dumplings can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When you're ready to cook them, simply drop them into the simmering sauce.
- This dish can also be made in a slow cooker. Simply brown the pork chops in a skillet over medium heat, then transfer them to the slow cooker. Add the sauce and dumplings, cover, and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Conclusion:
Pork chops alla pizzaiola with dumplings is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are cooked in a delicious tomato sauce, and the dumplings add a fluffy and filling element to the dish. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
