Quickly sautéed pork chops in a lemony sauce flavored with capers and parsley reward less than 30 minutes of prep and cooking with an elegant main dish. Just a small amount of grated Parmesan in the gremolata-like topping goes a long way. Serve the piccata with steamed zucchini noodles or other veggie noodles. You can make your own with a spiralizer, or buy them in the produce section of most supermarkets.
