The ingredients for Giada DeLaurentis Veronica's Veggie Meatloaf are:

3/4 cup lentils (about 5 ounces)
3 cups reduced-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup rice
1/2 cup finely chopped white onion
1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup frozen corn kernels

2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
1 tomato, sliced

Here is how you make Giada DeLaurentis Veronica's Veggie Meatloaf:

Place the lentils in a large saucepan of cold water. Bring the water just to a boil over high heat. Carefully drain the boiling water and rinse the lentilsBring broth to a boil in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add the rice and return the liquid to a boil. Decrease the heat to low, cover the rice, and gently simmer without stirring for 10 minutes.Stir in the lentils, onion, carrot, and celery. Cover and continue cooking without stirring until the rice and lentils are tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 30 minutes longer. (Less if you choose chick peas/ other bean/ cooked rice.) Turn off the heat. Sprinkle the corn over the rice and lentils and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork. Cover and let stand for 5 more minutes.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.Pam a 10 by 4 1/2 by 3-inch loaf panCook the spinach over medium heat until the spinach wilts, about 3 minutes. Drain and squeeze the excess liquid from the spinach. Transfer the spinach to a work surface and coarsely chop.In a large bowl, gently mix the lentil mixture, spinach, 1 cup of the cubed cheese, eggs, 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese. (Again use whichever kind of cheese you prefer.) Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan.Arrange the sliced tomatoes in a row over the mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheeseBake uncovered until the loaf is heated through and the topping is melted, about 30 minutes. Let cool for 15 minutes. (This step is helpful because it allows everything to settle well for easier slicing.)I've also had this recipe as leftovers and it is fine cold or reheated.Number of Servings: 7Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user DANSAPPHI.
