Meatloaf Spaghetti

If using already made leftover meatloaf, just add the chopped meatloaf to the marinara sauce and pasta. But this meatloaf recipe is the best for this dish!

For the meatloaf:

Preheat oven to 350F.

Throw the minced garlic, onion and carrots in a skillet with the butter and oil. Saute for 5 minutes, then cover and saute 5 minutes more. Add the spices. Set aside to cool a minute.

In a large bowl, mix together the meats, breadcrumbs, eggs, Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 cup ketchup. Add the cooked vegetables from the skillet and mix into the meat mixture.

Press mixture into a loaf pan and cover the top with the remaining half cup of ketchup. Bake in the 350 degree oven for 1 hour. Then remove, pour out some of the fat, and transfer the loaf to a cutting board.

Heat the water for the pasta and cook pasta until al dente. Heat the jarred marinara sauce in a large saucepan on medium low heat. Chop the meatloaf into medium pieces and add to the marinara sauce. Drain the pasta and add to the sauce.

Taste and adjust sauce with more red pepper flakes if you like it spicier!
