Preparation

Step 1

Salt and pepper to taste

Sauté the above with olive oil about 10 minutes or until veggies are soft.

Add 1 ½ Tablespoons tomato paste

Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Add 1 TB each basil and parsley (I prefer fresh herbs but dried are fine)

Once the veggies are cooled, add to 1 ½ to 2 pounds of lean ground beef (we use 93% fat free)
1 large egg

½ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Place into a meatloaf pan. Top with marinara sauce. Cook at 425 degrees for 1 hour.
