Categories: Five, Pork, Greens, Sauces, Cheese
Yield: 4 servings

10 sl Bacon
1 lb Pork tenderloin
1/4 ts Pepper
1/3 c Prepared pesto
1 c Shredded Italian cheese
- blend
1 c Fresh baby spinach

Set oven @ 425-|F/218-|C.

Arrange bacon strips lengthwise in a foil-lined 15" X
10" X 1" pan, overlapping slightly.

Cut tenderloin lengthwise through the center to within
1/2" of bottom. Open tenderloin flat; pound with a meat
mallet to 1/2" thickness. Place tenderloin on center of
bacon, perpendicular to strips.

Sprinkle pepper over pork. Spread with pesto; layer with
cheese and spinach. Close tenderloin; wrap with bacon,
overlapping ends. Tie with kitchen string at 3"
intervals. Secure ends with toothpicks.

In a 12" skillet, brown roast on all sides, about 8
minutes. Return to baking pan; roast in oven until a
thermometer inserted in pork reads 145-|F/63-|C, 17-20
minutes. Remove string and toothpicks; let stand 5
minutes before slicing.
