  2. Lay a large sheet of foil onto a bench; cover with baking paper; spread mince mixture onto baking paper and shape into a 25cm long, six cm high log. Wrap with foil and baking paper. Place on a baking tray and bake for 35 minutes; unwrap and cook for a further 10 minutes or until golden.

  3. Meanwhile, place oil, tomatoes and garlic in a medium saucepan over high heat; simmer 10 minutes; add basil; cook a further 5 minutes; place in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Serve with meatloaf.

  TIP: This meatloaf is generous enough for leftovers and sandwiches the next day!
