4. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a heavy based frying pan until hot, seal the pork and Parma ham cylinders on all sides then transfer to an oven proof dish.
5. Add the Madeira to the pan and cook on 180°C for 12-15 minutes until tender.
6. Remove from the Oven, and rest for 10 minutes then slice into 1 inch pieces ready to top the pasta.
