    I'm not a huge meat loaf fan, but this was just awesome!! So moist and flavorful!! I have found a new standby recipe that I will make again and again. The whole family loved it.
    Good job Rach!! Keep'em comin'!!

    I used chopped dried apricots instead of raisins and chopped walnuts instead of pine nuts (because I had neither, and it was fantastic! I was going to just leave out both, but then decided to go ahead and just substitute what I had - boy am I glad I did! It is great! I also baked it on a rack, so the grease would drip away and the bottom wouldn't get soggy. I didn't make the pasta part of it (again, lack of ingredients, but I will in the future.

    This recipe is amazing. To make it a little healthier, I've even done a mixture of ground beef and ground turkey. Sometimes it's a little soft and unrolls in the oven before it cooks, so I use wooden skewers to hold it together. The flavors in this meatloaf are so delicous...you'll never make your grandma's meatloaf recipe again. It's a must-try.

    This and Rachael's recipe for Gyro meatloaf are the only two recipes that I make with ground beef in a loaf form. They are always a hit and have such wonderful flavors. I have varied this recipe for brasciole using ground turkey, no raisins, and sliced ham or turkey in the filling. All have been great. Love this recipe as a starting point.

    Just be careful, mine had to be in the oven a little longer (the middle was still raw after the proposed roasting time.

    And the pine nuts too! I was skeptical at first as well - why would you EVER put raisins in meatloaf?? But they added a great flavor and by the end of my meal I was hoping for bites with them in it! Next time I might add even more. The brasciole was a little tricky to roll up but definitely doable. I used arugula, procuitto and asiago cheese and it was de-lish! A definite make-again!

    The stuffing of the meat (prosciutto, spinach, provolone didn't do much to the flavor. I'd suggest saving the money and leaving those ingredients out. The pine nuts and raisins were a nice accent though. Did not care for the pasta dish at all!

    This was amazing. I knew it was going to be great based on the ingredients and Rachel's reputation. It was meatloaf with a flair. I have a hard time with the 30 minute concept but looking back, you can make it in 30 minutes. I know the perfect couple to make this for because we're always looking for flavorful easy entrees. This will even impress them.

    This was an amazing combination of tastes that everyone from ages 6 to 76 loved!

    One suggestion, make sure that the prosciutto is sliced "like tissue paper" as my Italian grandmother used to say. It is a strong flavor that may overwhelm the dish if sliced too thick. It also makes the meatloaf difficult to slice.

    Easy and Elegant, you gotta love Rachael Ray!

    Brasciole was so outrageous that even my five and four year old girls inhaled this new dish all up. I was so in love with this dish, I brought leftovers to share at work the next day and the office was a buzz all day. It's such a pretty looking dish! The simple pasta side dish was perfect since it didn't overpower the complex flavors of the meat. Delicious! Thanks Rachel!
