Season the pork chops on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium high heat.

Cover and let simmer for about 5 minutes or until the pork chops are heated through and no longer pink in the center.
Serve pork chops with sauce spooned over the top and garnished with parmesan cheese (optional).
