Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Season the pork chops with salt and pepper.

Spread out the flour and breadcrumbs on two separate plates or sheets of wax paper.

Beat the eggs in a wide, shallow bowl until thoroughly blended.

Dredge the chops in flour to coat them lightly, and tap off any excess.

Dip them in the beaten egg, letting the excess drip back into the bowl.

Move the chops to the breadcrumbs, and turn to coat completely, patting them gently to make sure the breadcrumbs adhere.

Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until a corner of one of the coated chops gives off a lively sizzle when dipped in the oil.

Lay the chops into the oil, and fry, turning once, until golden on both sides, about 8 minutes.

Transfer to a baking sheet, and bake until no trace of pink remains near the bone, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Remove the chops from the oven. If they look a little oily, drain them briefly on paper towels.

Spoon the Amatriciana sauce on four plates, and serve the chops on top.
