Ingredients needed:
* 1 box of Green Giant frozen chopped spinach, thawed, squeezed to drain
* 1 package of cream cheese, softened (approximately 3 ounces)
* 4 medium green onions, chopped
* 1/4 cup of chopped fresh basil leaves
* 2 to 3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
* 1 1/2 teaspoons of chopped fresh tarragon leaves
* 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
* 1 boneless pork loin roast (3 to 4 lb), trimmed of fat
* 1/4 teaspoon of salt
* 1/8 teaspoon of pepper
Preparation steps:
* Heat oven to 325 degrees. Spray rack in roasting pan with cooking spray.
* In a small bowl, stir together spinach, cream cheese, onions, basil, garlic, tarragon and red pepper.
* Cut pork lengthwise, cutting to but not through other side. Open cut piece; pound to 1/2-inch thickness. Sprinkle pork with salt and pepper. Spoon spinach mixture evenly over pork. Beginning with long side, roll up; tie securely with heavy kitchen string at 2-inch intervals. Place pork on rack in pan. Insert ovenproof meat thermometer so tip is in thickest part of pork and does not rest in stuffing.
* Bake uncovered for 1 hour. Increase oven temperature to 375 degrees. Bake 20 minutes longer or until browned and thermometer reads 145 degrees. Cover loosely with foil; let stand at least 3 minutes. Remove string before slicing.
Serve and enjoy
