  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and shape it into a firm loaf.
  • Spread the remaining 1/4 cup tomato sauce evenly over the top of the loaf.

Chop the basil just before mixing so it keeps its color and flavor. If the loaf looks dry on top near the end of baking, spoon a little extra tomato sauce over it. Leftovers reheat well in a covered skillet with a splash of water to keep the texture moist.
