For an enhanced flavor profile, consider adding 1/2 cup of finely diced onion and 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley to the meatloaf mixture. To prevent the meatloaf from sticking to the pan, lightly grease the loaf pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper before adding the meatloaf mixture. Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping or a classic tomato gravy for a truly authentic Italian experience.
