So I was pretty excited about making this pork roast. First, I read all of the previous comments to get pointers. I roasted 5 heads of garlic and mashed up the cloves with 1/2 tsp each of thyme and rosemary. I smeared it all over the outside of the roast and wrapped with the pancetta. I decided to cover the pan and lower the temp to 350. After about an hour and a half, I uncovered it and turned the oven up to 400 for about 30 minutes to finish cooking and crisp the pancetta. After I took it out to rest, I reduced the pan drippings on the stovetop and poured over the sliced pork. Extremely tender and tasty. Served with a hybrid of Giada's herbed polenta and Ina's rosemary polenta and green peas. DELICIOUS! My boyfriend actually licked his plate.

This is a fantastic recipe and a great way to cook pork. It is full of flavors (herbs, garlic, wine that work well together and the meat is very juicy. The strong flavors of the roast blend well with the milder flavors of the herbed polenta - an excellent pairing. A couple of caveats - make sure the oven is pre-heated because heating the oven to 400 with the roast in it will dry it out and burn the pancetta; and do not baste or move the roast at all. This is a keeper!

This was sooooo moist and delicious and easy. I'm glad I pulled it out at 145 degrees. My Joy of Cooking book says pork should be 160 degrees. No wonder why pork is usually dry.

Wow! This is a very flavorful way to prepare a pork loin roast. Fresh herbs are a must. The only change I made was to use 2 heads of roasted garlic in place of the raw garlic - mash with the herbs and olive oil. My neighbor stopped by before I placed the roast in the oven so needless to say, we later walked over a couple of slices for her family!! Wonderful meal that our family will enjoy again and again.
