Parmesan Spinach Stuffed Pork Loin

Thanks for sharing!

Just look at this pork loin wrapped around a filling of Parmesan cheese and spinach. It comes together really pretty easily and tastes amazing!

Stuffed pork loin is one of those meals that looks “WOW!” In reality it’s pretty simple to make.

This pork loin is rolled around a filling of Parmesan cheese and spinach for fabulous flavor. It would be perfect served at your next dinner party, holiday meal or just because!

I originally shared this fabulous recipe back in October of 2015. It was an instant hit with my husband and actually got quite a bit of love on pinterest despite the terrible pictures.

We have enjoyed it several times since, but I either forget to take pictures or it’s too late and dark to bother. It’s a real shame because this pork loin is fabulous and you all deserve the chance to try it!

I know prepping the pork loin to roll around the filling seems intimidating. I promise you though, it is not that complicated.

So I made a short video showing just how to do that. It is embedded in this post so you can see in real time what I do.

I also have a video on YouTube showing the whole process of making this exact recipe.  Watch it and you’ll see how doable it really is!

Of course I snapped a few new pictures for the post and freshened up the printable recipe card while I was at it. Hopefully all of the added information and help will encourage you to give it a try!

Serving Stuffed Pork Loin:

As with any meat, you are going to want to let this rest a while before you cut into it.  It is especially important with this though because you don’t want all that melty cheese running out.

Give everything a chance to settle in for a bit before you dive in!

I served this with some simple butter parmesan noodles and some peas.  It was an easy meal that looked like it took a lot more effort than it did.

Tips for prepping your pork loin

Place your pork loin fat side up on a large cutting board. Get a sharp chef knife, the biggest one you’re comfortable with and get started.

Get the loin perpendicular to your body, then slowly use the knife to cut across the equator.  Stop about a quarter inch before you get to the other side

Open the pork loin up, like a book. Adjust the center cut until it looks and feels right, making sure not to cut all the way through.

Now starting in the middle cut one side in half again. Just like before, you want to stop about a quarter inch before the side.

Now do the same on the other side.  The pork loin should be laid out 4 wide, but all in one piece.

You can pound it or perfect it all you want, but honestly you can likely just go with it as is. I generally don’t fuss with it and am always pleased with how it looks.

Now spread your stuffing over the top. I like to have the fat layer on the outside for browning and cooking. So I start with the the side farthest from that section and start rolling it up.

You don’t need a super tight roll, just enough to bring it back together without squishing out the filling.

You can secure it with butcher’s twine or toothpicks if you want. You can also leave it as is.

Now you’re ready to brown and roast it. See, it wasn’t that bad!
