Elegant Meatloaf

1. 1

   In an electric mixer on low speed combine veal, chicken, ricotta.

2. 2

   Add salt and pepper and mix in well.

3. 3

   Looking at a rectangular pyrex dish vertically, lay out the bacon strips (as many as you need to fill the dish) horizontally so that they extend all the way to the sides.

4. 4

   Take the meatloaf mixture and spoon it on top of the bacon, and, using your hands, shape it to the vertical length of the pyrex. Leave about an inch from the top and bottom and about 3inches from each side.

5. 5

   On top of the meatloaf mixture place the fresh sage leaves in a row all the way down.

6. 6

   Now bring the bacon sides up around the meatloaf creating a complete bacon wrapping. If there is a gap because the ends don't meet then you can add a strip down the middle.

7. 7

   Now place in an oven at 350F for 1 hour or until the bacon looks crisp but not dry.

8. 8

   Using two spatulas, lift the meatloaf into a serving dish and surround with some sage sprigs.

9. 9

   Reserve some of the liquid from the pyrex to spoon over slices.
