Ingredients

  • 4 pork tenderloins
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Butterfly each pork tenderloin by slicing it horizontally down the middle, without cutting all the way through, so that you can open it like a book.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic, chopped rosemary, and beaten egg. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  4. Season each butterflied pork tenderloin with salt and pepper.
  5. Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture onto each pork tenderloin.
  6. Roll up each tenderloin tightly, starting from one end, to form a rollatini.
  7. In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with some salt and pepper.
  8. Coat each rollatini with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the pork.
  9. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  10. Sear each rollatini in the skillet for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
  11. Pour the tomato sauce over the rollatini in the skillet.
  12. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pork is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. Remove from the oven and let the rollatini rest for a few minutes before serving.
  14. Serve the rollatini with additional tomato sauce if desired, and garnish with fresh rosemary.
  15. Enjoy this delicious Rollatini with Pork and Rosemary Filling!
