Notes

1. Tomato passata is pureed tomatoes, plain, without any salt or other flavour additions. Nowadays it is readily available at supermarkets, usually in the pasta section. It costs around the same as tinned tomatoes. If you can't find it, use crushed tinned tomatoes (you can use a blender to puree it if you want, to turn it into passata!).

2. "Overhang" simply means using a bigger piece of parchment/baking paper than you need so you can lift the meatloaf out of the pan by holding the paper.

3. A box grater is the standard old school grater that you use to grate cheese. Nothing fancy!

4. If you don't have a loaf pan, shape into a loaf and place it onto a baking tray.
