| 1. Mini Meat Loaves: | 2. Preheat oven to 425°F. | 3. Place meat in bowl. Make a well in meat. Fill well with egg, bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, peppers, onions, garlic, tomato paste, salt and pepper. | 4. Mix meat and breading and form four individual oval meat loaves, 1" thick. | 5. Coat loaves with extra virgin olive oil and arrange on a baking sheet. Roast 18-20 minutes. | 6. Macaroni and Cheese: | 7. Put a large pot of water on to boil for pasta. | 8. When the pasta water boils, salt water and add pasta. Cook until slightly undercooked-pasta will continue to cook when combined with cheese sauce. | 9. Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan and add flour. Whisk in milk. | 10. Bring to a bubble and thicken milk for 2-3 minutes. | 11. Add cheeses (cheddar, asiago, and Parmesan) and black pepper. Stir to melt cheeses. | 12. Drain pasta and combine with melted cheese sauce and transfer to a baking or casserole dish. | 13. Place bread crumbs in a bowl and add EVOO and herbs to bread crumbs. Top pasta with bread crumbs. | 14. Place under a broiler and brown bread crumbs. (If you do not have a separate broiler, place in oven with meatloaves for last few minutes. I did this and it turned out fine.). | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
