Meatloaf in tomato sauce is an exquisite, soft and juicy meat main course. A perfect main dish for Sunday lunch but not only! For a dinner or a meal with friends and family, meatloaf is loved by everyone, believe me! This tomato-sauce version is delicious and is a truly phenomenal idea: when you don't feel like rolling a thousand meatballs the only solution is meatloaf. You stuff it, roll it and cook it in a pan: a meatloaf filled with prosciutto and provola that turns out very tender thanks to a special ingredient.. even if you use breadcrumbs instead of stale bread crumbs! The meatloaf can not only be prepared the day before and then cooked the next day (just wrap it well in cling film or parchment paper) but you can also cook it and then reheat it when needed: in this case it keeps for up to 3 days in the refrigerator!
Prepare the mixture by combining the ground beef, the eggs, the Grana padano, the milk, the breadcrumbs, the nutmeg and the salt in a bowl.
On a sheet of parchment paper roll out the mixture to form a rectangle.
Place the cubes of smoked provola in the center.
Fold the meatloaf closed, sealing it, and shape it as desired using the parchment paper.
Place the meatloaf in a deep pan or pot, with the sealed side facing up.
In a small saucepan prepare the tomato sauce by heating the oil and the garlic, then add the tomato pulp and the salt, let cook for 10 minutes.
Pour the hot sauce over the meatloaf until it is covered.
Cover and cook over low heat for about 40 minutes, occasionally spooning sauce over it.
Halfway through cooking, turn the meatloaf using two spatulas.
In the last minutes uncover and let the sauce blend in well.
