 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 15x10x1"
  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.
