Servings: persons

1 large pork tenderloin (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons fennel seeds, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup pine nuts
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup grated pecorino romano cheese, plus more for topping
8 ounces spaghetti

1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush the pork with 1 tablespoon olive oil; season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
2
Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons parsley and the fennel seeds, pressing to adhere.
3
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
4
Add the pork and cook, turning, until browned on all sides, 8 to 10 minutes.
5
Scatter the garlic, tomatoes, raisins and pine nuts around the pork.
6
Cook, stirring, until the tomatoes are slightly softened, about 1 minute.
7
Add the broth and bring to a simmer.
8
Sprinkle the cheese over the pork, then transfer the skillet to the oven.
9
Roast until a thermometer inserted into the center of the pork registers 145 degrees F, 15 to 20 minutes.
10
Remove to a cutting board and let rest; reserve the tomato mixture in the pan.
11
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
12
Add the pasta and cook as the label directs.
13
Drain, then add to the tomato mixture along with the remaining 6 tablespoons parsley; season with salt and toss.
14
Top with cheese.
15
Slice the pork and serve with the pasta.
