My family gave this 4 stars. They said the pork loin had really good flavor. It was so tender that you couldn't really slice, it just fell apart when you tried. They only down fall was the juices of the pork loin made the sauce super thin while it was cooking. Tried to serve over pasta and the sauce just ran through it like water. If I had tomato paste on hand I would have added it to try and thicken it up.

Had a 3 pound boneless pork loin, and so glad to find this tasty recipe. Used my own red pepper/tomato sauce, and red and green peppers from the garden. Put it together in about 10 minutes -- hampered only by the sequence listed for ingredients. It is SO much more helpful to have them listed in order of use, to avoid missing anything. The sauce was too thin for pasta -- did nicely over mashed potatoes -- and I will thicken the leftovers for the next meal. Thanks for posting, Denise.
