Serves 6
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg
2 teaspoons Italian spice mix or dried oregano
1 pound (16 ounces) dry spaghetti
1 (24-ounce) jar marinara (pasta) sauce
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
3/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. In a large bowl, mix ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, egg and Italian spice mix.
- Divide the beef mixture into 6 balls. Shape each ball into an oval and place on the baking sheet. Bake until light golden-brown, or until internal temperature reaches 155 degrees, about 30 minutes.
- Top each meatloaf with 1/4 cup marinara (pasta) sauce, 2 tablespoons of mozzarella and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Bake until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
- While the meatloaves are in the oven, cook spaghetti according to box directions; drain and return to pot. Toss spaghetti with remaining pasta sauce. Serve spaghetti with meatloaves. Top with Parmesan and parsley. Serve and enjoy.
