Pork and Pasta Stew image

I especially like to make this stew in summer when I can use vegetables from my own garden. Because it doesn't simmer for hours, I often reach for this recipe when I need dinner in a hurry.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to fix it by adding some more cream. The flavors were good and the meat was tender, but I would probably reduce the amount of chili powder next time.
