Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and milk. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the liquid.

- Transfer the mixture to your prepared loaf pan or shape it into a loaf on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove the meatloaf from the oven and carefully spoon the marinara sauce over the top. Sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella and a little extra Parmesan.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs if you like.
