Sunday: Chicken Parmesan Meatloaf w/ Rigatoni, Salad & Garlic French Bread
One word. Delicious! We will be eating this meal once a month for sure! It was super easy to make and very tasty. Full of flavor and it seems healthier than traditional Chicken Parmesan. The one thing I did notice is that if you like your meatloaf to fill up the dish you need to use a smaller than normal meatloaf pan to bake it in. The pan I used was a standard size, which was pretty big for only 1 lb of meat. So it wasn’t shaped perfectly and didn’t fill the pan…but that’s not a big deal.
In addition to the meatloaf, I made an awesome veggie marinara sauce and tossed it with Rigatoni. Topped it with fresh parsley and some shaved Parmigiano-Reggiano. Added a nice salad full of veggies and some warm garlic bread. Perfection!
