I like to use pork loins for my breakfast meat instead of ham or bacon, but I found an idea to cook them coated in parmesan cheese, tried it and it turned out delicious, tender and juicy. I also found this pasta store here in Reno called Pasta Fresca. They make fresh pasta that you can purchase but it is also a great restaurant. Cooking for one can be fun.
INGREDIENTS: 1 pork loin, parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup butter. SAUCE: 1 can tomato sauce, 1/4 can tomato paste, red wine, 1 tbl sugar, Italian seasoning, sweet paprika, oregano, basil, garlic powder, 2 cloves garlic, 4 mushrooms
DIRECTIONS: Pour tomato sauce and tomato paste into a saucepan. Press garlic cloves into the sauce. Season generously with all the above-mentioned seasonings. Chop the mushrooms and add to the sauce. Pour a little red wine in and stir. Simmer for about an hour. Cut the pork loin in half lengthwise. Cover with parmesan cheese on both sides and pat down. Melt butter in a large skillet. Cook on both sides for 4 minutes. The parmesan will get nice and crispy, and the pork will be tender. Cooking for one can be fun.
