Ingredienser
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 ounces mozzarella, cut into small cubes
  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper

fremgangsmåte
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Italian seasoning, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly blended.
  • Divide the mixture into four equal portions. Shape each into a small loaf and press a few mozzarella cubes into the center of each before sealing the meat around the cheese.
  • Place the loaves on the baking sheet and bake for 25 minutes until cooked through.
  • While the meatloaves bake, use a vegetable peeler to create thin ribbons from the zucchinis. Toss the ribbons with olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  • Warm the tomato sauce in a small saucepan over low heat.
  • Serve each meatloaf with a spoonful of tomato sauce and a pile of zucchini ribbons on the side.

merknader

Use a sharp vegetable peeler for even zucchini ribbons that stay crisp next to the warm sauce. If the mozzarella starts to leak during baking, simply tuck it back in with a spoon before serving. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet with a splash of extra tomato sauce to keep the meat moist.
