aluminum foil.

Judi’s Notes: I would bake this meat loaf in a loaf pan due to
possible grease escaping from the jelly roll pan. I would also spoon
off some of the fat from the loaf after 30 minutes.

sized pieces. Drain pasta well and toss with several drizzles of olive oil,
to taste, and cheese. Add garlic and herbs and toss well. Add chicken,
eggplant, tomatoes, olives and green onions (if used) and toss again. NOTE:
This must be done quickly, so pasta stays hot, and cheese melts.

I like this with the olives and green onions, Patty is a purist, and thinks
that it complicates the dish unnecessarily.
