  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in an electric skillet set to high (400 degrees F or 200 degrees C). Stir-fry pork in hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Add zucchini, onion, mushrooms, tomatoes, butter, and garlic to pork in the skillet; stir-fry until vegetables are crisp-tender and pork is cooked through, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of pork should read at least 145 degrees F (60 degrees C). 
  • Add rotini, Parmesan cheese, and basil to pork-vegetable mixture; toss to coat.
