Italian Pork Roast

This is truly awesome. Macdaddy

Pre heat oven to 325

1 (3 to 3 1/2 pound) rolled bone less pork loin roast
4 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
1/4 cup olive oil
1 to 2 tablespoons dried Italian seasoning
Add to taste coarsely-ground pepper or fresh cracked pepper

Place roast in a shallow roasting pan. Cut 8 small slits in roast at 2-inch intervals; insert garlic clove halves deep into slits. Brush olive oil evenly over roast, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and pepper. Insert meat thermometer, making sure it does not touch fat. Bake at 325 degrees F for 1 1/2 hours (30 minutes per pound) or until meat thermometer reaches 155 degrees F. Remove from oven, and cover loosely with aluminum foil.

Let stand 15 minutes or until meat thermometer reaches 160 degrees F. Then slice or pull apart.

Great with buttered rolls or soft garlic bread.
