Ricotta Meatloaf with Cheese & Fresh Tomato Sauce

Most of you have made meatloaf on occasion; you may even have a family-favorite recipe that you make frequently. Well, I want to introduce you to the Marchegiano style of meatloaf, with ricotta added to the mix, which renders the loaf tender and tasty-not heavy and dense, as they so often are. Another textural delight in this loaf are cubes of mozzarella, oozing and moist when the meatloaf is served hot and fresh from the oven. Buon Gusto!

I Think the Ricotta would be a Great Addition to Meatballs,Too.❤

[@thiamata5346]

I'm Italian and I was going to ask that question about Ricotta in meatballs. I think I'm going to add that next time

[@Arianna-sl2hv]

Yes!!! Yum...

Thank you so much Lidia, I’m from NY, I love all your recipes. ❤️❤️❤️

[@conniecasale3593]

I am so excited about this Lydia. I said to my friend who. How about putting RICOTTA IN MY MEATBALL MIXTURE. SHE SAID NO. AND GAVE ME A FEW REASONS WHY SHE THOUGHT THAT wouldn’t be a good idea, so I left it alone. And here you are my beautiful, best chef in the world LYDIA saying let’s make we gotta meatballs or I got the meatloaf next time. I will just listen to myself and the heck with her lol thanks so much can’t wait to make them. I will be making them today. Thanks chef LYDIA. God bless always.

[@JohnCipriano-nl8cp]

I have to admit, I make my Meatloaf the same way I make my meatballs with almost the same ingredients, but it's doesn't mean they taste the same , They Both are Delicious 😋...

Love learning how to cook better meals for my family from my favorite chef Lidia!!!

I cannot wait to make this. Delicioso. Thank you for another great recipe.❤

Ricotta is such an under-rated ingredient. This looks incredible! Definitely going to try!

Not one person in my Italian family have ever used nutmeg. My husband was Greek, and that is when it was used. Who knew

[@PaulCapello]

Bravo, Chef! Grandma Campione would make this same recipe but add pignoli nuts and diced ham!

[@chrisandersen5635]

This is definitely not a dry meatloaf. Awesome. Thank you Chef Lidia. 😻

[@edwardstevensjr9506]

That meatloaf looks good and delicious thanks Lydia for sharing this recipe with us God/Jesus Bless you both and your family ❤❤❤

[@LidiaBastianich]

Thanks so much!

[@JackieDannenberg]

GREAT idea to add the ricotta ! Not sure my husband would like it but it sure sounds good to me !

[@LidiaBastianich]

Try it!

[@aris1956]

Sorry, why wouldn't your husband like it ? It's so delicious ! If he doesn't like ricotta, then it's another thing. But if he doesn't know that you put ricotta inside, he doesn't even realize that there is ricotta inside. When, after eating it, he tells you that it is delicious, then if you want you can tell him that you also put ricotta in it. ;)

[@maxineb9598]

Just liken it to hiding veges from fussy kids--- what they don't know doesn't hurt them.

[@bobdowlen3028]

Looks amazing. My mouth is watering. I am going to try to make it this weekend with some crusty bread.

[@michelerumohr1889]

About to try this, with necessary adjustments due to ingredients. Thanks for the inspirations!

[@curtismatsune3147]

I make American meatloaf, you know, with minced yellow onions and green bell peppers inside (and maybe grated carrot, too, if I need more bulk) and a sweet ketchup=based glaze on top. No cheese but I put ketchup, mustard and worcestershire in with the meat as seasonings (plus parsley and thyme). But Italian-style meatloaf looks great -- marinara on meatloaf sounds real good to me.

[@maxineb9598]

I make similar and I'm as far from an American you can get.

[@curtismatsune3147]

@@maxineb9598 So you make American meatloaf. And you needed me to know that why?

[@LidiaBastianich]

Sounds great!

[@donnalynn286]

My italian Grandmother RIP used to make this but with prosciutto and/or american ham added and in a brown sauce not tomato sauce...

I think I have FINALLY FOUND My perfect MEATLOAF! Thank You Ms. Lydia. Much Love and condolences to You on the passage of Your Beloved Mother. I didn't know that She had Walked-On-To-Heaven. I wondered why She wasn't on Your recent Shows...Just Y'all Singing together which is lovely. I know Y'all miss Her...She sees Y'all, She KNEW She was Loved. Honestly, the Love that Y'all had for each other, that Y'all do have for each other came/cones through the TV. There's no pretense for genuine sincerity. May God continue to Bless You and Your Family and all in this Forum. ✝️💗🙏🕊🇺🇸🇮🇹

That meat loaf looks so tender that you probably could make meatballs with the same recipe. Just thinking to maybe omit the cubed mozzarella.

Nutmeg tastes nice and homey. Just don't feed it to your dog. It is toxic to them, probably to other animals too. 🐾🐾
