Anna’s Italian Meatloaf with Ricotta

September 29, 2022

My Dad was a huge one for meatloaf. Loved it for dinner and for lunch the next day in a sandwich or with some salad. Anna’s meatloaf is just wow. Super tasty and really juicy. She told me it was because of the Ricotta. A win for me.

When I took my first mouthful all I could think was “OMG my Dad would have loved this!!” Simply yum. Thank you AGAIN Anna.

This recipe is taken from Anna Van Dyken’s Book #2 – How I’ve Kept The Weight Off – Page 136.  Fantastic Book with amazing recipes

Oh, If you looking for the full recipe – you’ll have to buy the book 🙂 

Look through Anna’s website. She has some amazing recipes.

Amazing really, when I created Anna’s site, I used to look at her recipes and say YUM but never did I think I would be cooking them, let alone converting them to Thermomix. Once again – my Thermomix had to come into it and this is super super easy this way.

Anna inspired me to cook and encouraged me to buy a Thermomix but ONLY if I was going to cook. Look at me now.
