One of those recipes that smells like home, family cooking, and meals prepared with just a few ingredients but full of flavor? That\u2019s exactly what happens to me whenever I make baked meatloaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I remember the first time I cooked it: I had some ground meat in the fridge, a bit of ricotta, and a few slices of coppata. I decided to combine everything to create a soft and flavorful meatloaf. While it was baking in the oven, the aroma of roasting meat and crispy cured pork began to fill the kitchen. From time to time I would open the oven and spoon the cooking juices over the top, making it even more tender and juicy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result is a meatloaf that is incredibly soft inside thanks to the ricotta and soaked bread, with a deliciously savory crust on the outside. It\u2019s the perfect recipe for a traditional Sunday lunch, but also for a simple and tasty dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s see how to make&nbsp;<strong>Baked Italian
