This is as about as spectacular as meatloaf gets. Stuffed with a cheesy spinach filling and rolled, it's as impressive as it is delicious. This delicious meatloaf is also a sneaky way to get kids to eat spinach. In a hurry? Substitute your favorite bottled pasta sauce for the home made version here. |
| Ingredients: |
Sauce: 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 onion, chopped 2 teaspoons dried basil 1 can (28 ounces) chopped tomatoes, undrained 5 1/2 ounce can tomato paste 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional for those who like a little heat) Filling: 6 cups fresh spinach 1 egg 1 cup ricotta cheese 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped 2 tablespoons milk 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper Meat: 1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef 1 egg, beaten 1 onion, chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 cup bread crumbs 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon pepper |
| Instructions: |
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Sauce: Filling: Mix together egg, cheeses, parsley, nutmeg and salt and pepper. Set aside. Meat:
Leaving a 1" border on all sides, spread a layer of spinach over meat, followed by cheese mixture and 1 cup of sauce.
Roll meat from the short end, just like you would when making a jellyroll cake, lifting the paper out of the way as you go. Don't worry if some of the filling oozes out, just tuck it back in.Â
