Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a small baking dish with olive oil.
Arrange the leftover meatloaf slices in the prepared baking dish, leaving a bit of space between each slice.
Spoon the marinara sauce evenly over each slice, ensuring they are fully covered.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top of the marinara sauce.
Add grated Parmesan cheese as a finishing layer for extra flavor.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the cheese from over-browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes to let the cheese bubble and brown slightly.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves (if using) before serving.
Serve hot as a standalone dish or over a bed of cooked pasta for a complete meal.
