Pork tenderloin gets delightful Italian flavor from prosciutto, tomatoes and garden herbs. The beautifully browned slices are quick enough for weeknights yet will impress your guest. —Lorraine Caland, Thunder Bay, Ontario

Awesome. I use sun-dried tomatoes in the winter when fresh tomatoes are just not that yummy. I also add green onion.

We've made this dish many times. For non-pork eaters, just or for something different, this is equally good if you substitute seared scallops for the pork.

Very flavorful recipe! I've made with both ham and bacon, as well as added white white. Makes for yummy leftovers, too.

OUTSTANDING!!!!!! Great flavor, could cut pork with fork. After reading reviews I doubled sauce to pour over rice. Yummy!

Delicious! Only thing I would do differently is double the sauce. I served the pork over spaghetti and it would have been nice to have enough sauce to coat the pasta.

Incredible Recipe that is easy AND impressive! This has made it into my regular dinner "rotation." I make the rice with coconut milk and it adds a great touch.

This is the most delicious thing I make. My fried foods loving husband, my diabetic 12 year old son, and my picky 10 year old son all say, "Oh, we love this stuff!" when it is on the dinner table. I find most pork dishes to be greasy and tough, but this is delicious.

The recipe doubles beautifully! I will make extra sauce next time as it is so delicous and would love to pour some more over noodles. Yum!
