Ingredients

For the Pork Loin:

• 1 (2-3 lb) Swift Boneless Pork Loin
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning

For the Filling:

• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tsp red pepper flakes, optional

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pork Loin

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Place the pork loin on a cutting board and carefully butterfly it by slicing horizontally, stopping about ½ inch from the edge. Open it like a book.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet to an even thickness.
4. Drizzle with olive oil and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Step 2: Make the Filling

1. In a bowl, mix together spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, garlic, Parmesan, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Step 3: Stuff & Roll the Pork Loin

1. Spread the filling evenly over the pork loin, leaving a 1-inch border.
2. Carefully roll the pork loin tightly from one end to the other.
3. Secure with kitchen twine at 1-inch intervals to keep the stuffing in place.

Step 4: Roast the Pork Loin

1. Place the stuffed pork loin in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet lined with foil.
2. Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
3. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

1. Slice the pork loin into rounds and serve warm.

Serving Suggestions

• Pair with roasted vegetables, garlic mashed potatoes, or a fresh side salad. Drizzle with balsamic glaze or serve with a side of marinara sauce for an extra Italian touch.
