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

Ingredients

3/4 pound pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch slices
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon butter
2 thin slices prosciutto or deli ham, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh sage or 1/2 teaspoon dried sage leaves
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup chopped plum tomatoes

Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook pork in butter until a thermometer reads 145°. Remove; let meat stand for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in the same skillet, saute prosciutto in the drippings until browned. Add garlic and sage; cook 1 minute longer. Add vinegar, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan.
Stir in cream; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Add tomatoes and pork; heat through. Sprinkle each serving with basil and cheese. Yield: 2 servings.
