Florentine Pork in French Bread Boats

Florentine Pork in French Bread Boats is great for a light dinner or weekend lunch.

Ingredients

2 pork tenderloin (about 12 ounces each)
1/3 cup Italian dressing, (reduced calorie)
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
2 medium tomato, seeded and diced
3 ounces spinach, washed and trimmed
3 French breads (6 inch pieces), split lengthwise in half
4 teaspoons Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

Cut pork into slices 1/4-inch thick. Place pork in plastic bag; add dressing, turning to coat. Tie bag securely and marinate at least 15 minutes (no longer than 1 1/2 hours). Remove pork from marinade and discard marinade.
Brown pork in oil in nonstick skillet over medium-high heat for about 4 to 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and spinach. Cover tightly and cook over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until spinach is wilted. Pour off liquid. Meanwhile remove soft centers from bread to form "boats". Spoon 1 cup pork mixture into each boat. Sprinkle each with equal amount of cheese.
Serve with pasta salad and fresh fruit.
