Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl, combine Ricotta cheese, ¼ c. Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, 1 T. fresh parsley, and ¼ t. salt; set aside.
In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs or oats, remaining 2 T. fresh parsley, onion, garlic, black pepper, remaining 1 t. salt, Italian seasoning, and 2 lightly beaten eggs. With your hands, gently combine until blended, not overworking the mixture.
On a piece of plastic wrap or waxed paper, press the meat mixture into a 10 x 12 inch rectangle.
Set aside 1 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese; sprinkle remaining 1 c. Mozzarella cheese evenly over the ground beef about 2 inches from one of the short edges and 1 inch from the three remaining edges. Spread the Ricotta cheese mixture evenly over the Mozzarella.
Starting from the short edge with the cheese closest to it, roll up like a jelly roll, towards the end with the cheese 2 inches from the edge, lifting the waxed paper/plastic wrap while rolling. Seal the end completely, and place seam-side down into a 9 x 13 inch baking pan, pressing together any cracks.
Place pan in the oven; bake 45 minutes. Remove pan from oven; pour sauce over the meatloaf; sprinkle with reserved Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
Return meatloaf to oven; bake 15-20 minutes, or until no pink remains. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is browned and bubbly.
Remove from oven. Let stand 10 minutes. Slice. Serve.
