Directions

In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, parsley, roasted red pepper, salt, red pepper flakes and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Lay the tenderloins open and flat on a board. Coat each tenderloin evenly with 3 tbsp of pesto.
Lay 3 slices of provolone on each loin.
Divide ½ the breadcrumb mixture over the provolone of each tenderloin.
Roll the loins back up into their original shape and tie in 5 spots with kitchen twine.
Heat a 3.5 Qt sauteuse over medium-high heat.
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to the sauteuse and heat the oil.
Sear the pork tenderloins until evenly golden brown all the way around, about 3 minutes per side. Remove tenderloins to a plate.
Deglaze the sauteuse with the white wine, add the tomato sauce, place the pork into the sauce, cover and simmer until the pork is just cooked through, about 25 minutes (internal temperature of 145°F).
Remove from the heat and allow to rest uncovered for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with the sauce.
Optional: While the tenderloin rests, I like to take a handful of colorful little tomatoes, cut them in half and sauté them in olive oil, salt & pepper. Once the pork is plated on the sauce, I drop the tomatoes into the sauce and drizzle some pesto over the tomatoes.
