Start by boiling water in a pot with a pinch of salt for the spaghetti.

In a pan, heat 10 ml of olive oil and add 450 grams of smoked pork chop to brown them for 5 minutes.

Add 40 grams of chopped onion, 20 grams of bell pepper, and 2 cloves of crushed garlic to the pan, and brown for 2 minutes.

Incorporate 30 grams of diced tomatoes and tomato paste, letting them brown for 1 minute.

Once the water is boiling, soften 200 grams of pasta in the boiling water for 12 minutes.

To the chops, add 1 cup of evaporated milk, pepper to taste, 8 whole green olives, 20 grams of butter, and 1 cube of vegetable broth, incorporating well.

Add 1/2 cup of hot water to the mixture and stir.

Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the pan and stir well to combine everything.

Serve the spaghetti topped with parmesan cheese and a touch of coriander.
