Substitute the tenderloin with chicken, pork, or ground beef!

Additional Comments:
Cristin - A really nice weeknight dinner--easy to make, easy to clean up, and kid-pleasing. I'd substitute cheaper meat for the tenderloin next time (sirloin, maybe) but the ease & taste of this recipe are great.

Elisabeth - I used a pork tenderloin instead of beef. I seared the tenderloin in a skillet first until it was browned on all sides, then I put it in a hot oven 400 degrees for 10 min. While the tenderloin cooked, I made the pasta and sauce. I sliced the tenderlion into medallions and fanned it over the pasta. HUGE HIT. My whole family really enjoyed it. There were NO leftovers.
