These are really quite easy to put together. The fresh taste of the sauce makes them so delicious. I think this is one of my best dinners. There's enough sauce for a side of pasta.

Made this for dinner last night and it was very good! Followed the recipe exactly and served with a side of spaghetti. The sauce was very good on it's own. Thanks for sharing.

Great recipe. Directions are wonderful. I used seasoned Italian breadcrumbs and it was delicious. I recommend this recipe.

Absolutely wonderful! Wish I could give this 5 stars for each member of the family because we all loved it! I used a pork tenderloin that I had in the freezer - cut it into 6 pieces and flattened it a bit. Also used tomato puree in place of the crushed tomatoes. The rosemary in the sauce really complimented the pork and it really reminded me of Veal Parmesan. I also used fresh mozzarella to top the pork. Every bit was eaten. We had fettucini on the side, and that was finished off too,along with that fabulous sauce. As you can tell, I will be making this again....and again. Thanks!
