Ingredients 2 tbsp vegetable broth, plus as required 50 gr sliced onions 115 gr sliced pancetta or bacon 3 tbsp mascarpone cheese 1 tsp minced hot pepper paste 100 ml ve

Stuffed Meatloaf – Polpettone Ripieno
Scorri a basso per l’italiano Serves: 2 This was a small meatloaf I had in the freezer from when I made my Spaghetti e Polpette which the meat mixture allowed for 12 meatballs, some baby meatballs and this meatloaf for two. The meat mixture freezes well and all you have to do is thaw it out and put whatever you want in it to make it a stuffed meatloaf. Today I filled mine with thin slices of roast beef and scamorza cheese. Truly delicious! Ingredients 450 gr potato
