Today it can be considered a classic of Italian cuisine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Easy to make, is a main or a side dish to serve cold or warm.<br \/>\nMy friend said me the trick to make it perfect. The essential ingredient in this vegetarian meatloaf is marjoram (fresh or dried). But I know that marjoram won&#8217;t stop you!<br \/>\nIf you don&#8217;t have marjoram, or if you prefer another taste, try basil.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I think of it&#8217;s perfect to celebrate spring and summer vegetables with fresh herbs.<\/p>\n<p>Monica<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Cook with me.<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>For other recipes with legumes, have a look <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/category\/recipes\/ingredients\/legumes\/?lang=en\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h6><strong>Keep in Touch<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p>If you like, you can follow me on<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tortelliniandco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.it\/tortelliniandco\/_created\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pinterest<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tortelliniandco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload_inited aligncenter wp-image-24975 size-full\" title=\"Meatloaf alla Genovese: A Vegetarian Recipe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5109-1.jpg\" alt=\"Meatloaf alla Genovese: A Vegetarian Recipe\" width=\"563\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5109-1.jpg 563w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5109-1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5109-1-315x420.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload_inited aligncenter wp-image-24987 size-full\" title=\"Meatloaf alla Genovese: A Vegetarian Recipe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5106.jpg\" alt=\"Meatloaf alla Genovese: A Vegetarian Recipe\" width=\"563\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5106.jpg 563w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5106-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.tortelliniandco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/IMG_5106-315x420.jpg 315w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Meatloaf &#8220;alla Genovese&#8221;: A Vegetarian Recipe<\/h2>\n<hr \/>\n<p>serves 4<br \/>\nIngredients<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>potatoes, 400g<br \/>\ngreen beans, 500g<br \/>\nyellow onion, 1<br \/>\nmarjoram, 10g<br \/>\neggs, 2<br \/>\ngrated parmesan cheese, 50g<br \/>\nfine salt, 5 g<br \/>\nextra virgin olive oil and black pepper, to taste<\/p>\n<p>you need: a loaf mold, 20cm<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Directions<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Cook the peeled potatoes in lightly salted boiling water.
