"I came up with this recipe when I was left with a bit of pesto from another recipe and also had an abundance of tomatoes from the garden," Jennifer Magrey relates from Sterling, Connecticut. "I serve a green salad with fresh mozzarella and balsamic vinaigrette on the side."

I'm not sure about the combination of pork and pesto, but I'm willing to try it.

This recipe was a disaster! The pork was overcooked and the pesto sauce was burnt. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I wasn't a big fan of this recipe. The pork was tough and the pesto sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

The pesto pork roast was a little dry, but the flavor was good. I think I will try brining the pork next time to help keep it moist.
