Pork Chops Saltimbocca

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Top each chop with a sage leaf, then wrap in 2 slices prosciutto.

Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Add the chops, sage-side down, and cook, turning once, until the prosciutto is crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.

Transfer to a baking sheet, reserving the skillet, and roast until a thermometer inserted sideways into the center of a chop registers 145 degrees F, about 8 minutes. Top each with a slice of provolone; return to the oven until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes. Meanwhile, put the spinach in a microwave-safe bowl; add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 tablespoon water and a pinch of salt. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until wilted, 3 minutes; drain.

Drizzle with half of the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.

Heat the reserved skillet over medium heat; add the shallot and cook, stirring, until soft, 3 minutes.

Add the broth and simmer until reduced by half. Stir in the remaining lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Divide the pork among plates; drizzle with the shallot sauce.

Serve with the spinach and lemon wedges.
