These little meat loaves from Better Homes and Gardens anyone can cook are a nice cheese change from your everyday meatloaf. Ingredients:
1 egg, lightly beaten |
14 ounces pasta sauce, divided (i used 2 cups home made) |
1/4 cup seasoned dry bread crumb, fine |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
12 ounces ground beef |
2 ounces mozzarella cheese (i used 2 sticks string cheese) or 2 sticks mozzarella string cheese (i used 2 sticks string cheese) |
4 slices prosciutto (about 2 ounces) |
9 ounces spinach fettuccine, fresh (for big eaters or teens you may want to use more than 9 ounces) |
parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F In a medium bowl combine egg, 1/4 cup of the pasta sauce, the bread crumbs, salt, and pepper. Add ground beef; mix well.
2. Cut mozzarella cheese block into four 2 1/4x3/4x1/2 inch logs or cut each string cheese stick in half crosswise. Wrap a lice of prosciutto around each cheese log. Shape one-fourth of the beef mixture around each cheese log to form a loaf. Flatten the four meat loaves to 1 1/2 inches thick and place in a shallow baking pan.
3. Bake for 20 minutes or until internal temperature registers 160 F on an instant-read thermometer. Meanwhile, prepare fettuccine according to package directions; drain well and keep warm. In a small saucepan heat remaining pasta sauce over medium heat until bubbly.
4. Arrange meat loaves over hot fettuccine. Spoon sauce over top and sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese.
