Leftover Meatloaf Turned Italian image

I always have leftover meatloaf with nothing to do with it. Take leftover meatloaf and add rigatoni and cheeses for a great, different Italian meal!

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (16 ounce) package rigatoni pasta
6 slices leftover beef meatloaf, or to taste
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese (such as Polly-O)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 (28 ounce) jar marinara sauce
1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes.
  • While rigatoni is cooking, coarsely chop meatloaf. Mix ricotta cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Drain rigatoni and return to the pot. Add meatloaf, ricotta cheese mixture, remaining Parmesan cheese, marinara sauce, and 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese. Mix well and spread in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella cheese on top; continue baking until melted, about 5 minutes more.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but the meatloaf itself was delicious.
