Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a loaf pan.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, cooled spinach, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix gently with your hands or a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatloaf tender.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet or loaf pan, shaping it into a loaf. If shaping freeform on a baking sheet, ensure the loaf is compact and even in size.
In a small bowl, mix the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce together. Spread the mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf.
Place the meatloaf in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) is reached.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your Spinach Parmesan Meatloaf with your favorite side dishes!
