Mom’s Hockey Puck Meatloaf

“A greatly improved version of this timeless classic, I was surprised to find a meatloaf that was this good, and not as rich as the one I was used to.”

  • 1kg ground beef
  • 1 large red onion, chopped
  • 2 slices of bread, made into crumbs
  • 3 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • 1 medium egg
  • 2 tbsp brown sauce
  • 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
  • 50-100g parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 tbsp fresh oregano
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • salt and pepper
Preheat the oven to 180˚C Mix all the ingredients together until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the bowl and forms a ball.  Add more breadcrumbs if you need them. Form the mixture into a loaf shape.
Place the mixture in an ovenproof dish or a loaf tin and bake in the centre of the oven for 50-60 minutes until the centre is firm.

Chunky sausage & tomato pasta

“Jazz up sausages with this spicy tomato pasta”

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 thick pork sausages , cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 200ml medium white wine
  • 1 tbsp tomato purée
  • 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 500g pack rigatoni or penne
  • handful basil leaves, torn, (optional)
  • Parmesan, to serve
Heat the olive oil in a heavy-based pan (preferably not non-stick) and add the sausages. Fry for about 8 mins until golden and cooked through. Tip in the garlic and fry for 1 min. Pour in the white wine and boil until it has reduced by half.
Stir in the tomato purée and tomatoes, and season to taste. Simmer for 15 mins until the sauce is rich and thick.
While the sauce cooks, boil the pasta according to pack instructions and drain. Stir in the basil if using, and cooked pasta into the sauce, then serve in bowls with grated or shaved Parmesan.
Making it veggie or spicy Use veggie sausages, such as Cauldron Vegetarian Lincolnshire sausages, available from supermarkets. Or to make it spicy, add a pinch of dried chilli or 1 chopped red chilli as you fry the sausages.
