Preheat oven to 400° F. Lightly coat a 7-1/2 x 3-3/4 x 2-1/4 -inch loaf pan with cooking spray. Insert metal blade. Place parsley and bread in work bowl; pulse 5 times, then process until bread is medium coarse crumbs, about 20 seconds. Add onion, mushrooms, herbs, salt, and pepper to work bowl. Pulse to chop finely, 10 to 15 times. Remove and transfer to a medium bowl. Place egg, milk and tomato paste in work bowl. Process to blend, 5 seconds; add to onion mixture and stir. Place beef cubes in work bowl. Pulse to chop finely, 15 to 20 long pulses. Add to mixture in bowl. Place pork and veal cubes in work bowl. Pulse to chop finely, 15 to 20 long pulses. Add to bowl. Stir meats into vegetable/crumb mixture until completely combined. Spoon into prepared loaf pan and press to compact. Bake in preheated 400° F oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until top is browned and internal temperature measures 160° - 170° F when tested with an instant read thermometer. Let meatloaf stand in pan for 10 minutes. Drain if necessary, remove, slice and serve. Alternatively, meat can be shaped into meatballs of desired size and baked until browned and internal temperature measures 160°-170° F. Use with your favorite tomato sauce or brown gravy.
