How to Make Roast Pork Loin With Pasta

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  3. Season pork loin generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Brown the pork loin on all sides in the Dutch oven, about 5-7 minutes total.
  5. Remove pork loin from Dutch oven and set aside. Remove any excess fat from the pan.
  6. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the Dutch oven.
  7. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
  8. Add the minced garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, and sauté for 1 minute more.
  9. Stir in the white wine, crushed tomatoes, and chopped plum tomatoes. Bring to a simmer.
  10. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  11. Return the pork loin to the Dutch oven.
  12. Cover the Dutch oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until the pork loin is tender and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
  13. Remove the pork loin from the Dutch oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  14. Skim any excess fat from the sauce.
  15. While the pork rests, cook the pasta according to package directions.
  16. Slice the pork loin and serve over the pasta, ladling the sauce generously over both.
  17. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
