Roasted Pork Loin Stuffed with Spinach and Prosciutto
- Recipe by Giada De Laurentiis
The smoky, salty flavors in the stuffing point to a medium-bodied acidic red with a slightly bitter finish. A good example: the 1999 Michele Chiarlo Barbera d'Asti. Or, try a tangy, lively white with a rich texture, such as the 2000 Teruzzi & Puthod Vernaccia di San Gimignano.
Roasted Pork Loin Stuffed with Spinach and Prosciutto
This receipe is the bomb I just made it! I made the sauce to, it was a nice compliment to the roast. I also made couscous with zucchini. This receipe is a keeper.

When I first made this recipe according to directions, I would have given it a four star, primarily because it seemed to lack something. Because it is an easy, make-ahead dish, I tried again but changed a few things and was very pleased with the results. First, I chopped the prosciutto and added it to the spinach. Additionally, I added a few bread crumbs (plain) to the spinach mixture to help absorb some of the moisture. Instead of the log, I spread the spinach mixture all over the loin-leaving about an inch to seal the loin (for a pinwheel look). Before serving, I drizzled a simple plum sauce over it instead of the gravy listed in the recipe. The colors and flavors were wonderful! One final note, I baked the loin at 450 degrees for 15 minutes, then turned the oven down to 325 degrees and baked for 40 minutes. I found this easier than pan searing.
