1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add pork; cook and stir 2-3 minutes. Add oregano, garlic, wine, salt and pepper. Cook about 1 minute to reduce liquid quantity by half. Add pear and pistachios; stir. Add cold butter. When butter is just melted, add hot pasta; toss. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and a few pistachios, if desired.
