Italian meatloaf

Serves:

Ingredients

• 500g pork mince
• 500g veal mince
• 1 brown onion, finely diced
• 2 tbsp dried Italian herb mix
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
• ¼ cup flat leaf parsley, chopped
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• ½ cup tomato paste
• 2 cups dried breadcrumbs
• salt and pepper
• 1 jar pasta sauce

Method

Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a large loaf tin with baking paper and set aside.

Place all ingredients except for the pasta sauce into a large bowl and, using cleans hands, mix together thoroughly.

Form a rough loaf shape and push into the tin. Bake for 55-60 mins.

Warm pasta sauce and pour over meatloaf before serving.

Notes:

• This tastes great served with Italian-style beans and potatoes.
• I discovered this recipe when I made the mix for meatballs and ended going out for dinner one night. I just popped it in the oven the next day. You can also cook this in the slow cooker for 4-6 hours on high.
• I like to place some thick straps of foil underneath to lift the loaf out. If you can’t get pork and veal mince, chicken or beef mince will do fine.
