January 13, 2014 / Culinary Historians of NY / Recipes

Special K, onions, and pecans are the key ingredients in this ersatz meatloaf. I first tasted this dish in the home of my then-boyfriend’s hippy mother back in the 70’s. It is representative of the ovo-lacto category of vegetarian cooking, that was once so popular. It’s also surprisingly tasty.

Medieval Italian Pasta
