Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium Carrot, finely chopped
• 1 Celery stalk, finely chopped
• 500 grams Ground beef
• 250 grams Ground pork
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 800 grams Canned whole tomatoes
• 1 cup Red wine
• 1 cup Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 12 sheets Lasagna noodles
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Milk (for béchamel)
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg, freshly grated
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and celery and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 2

Add the ground beef and pork, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the meat is browned and no pink remains.

Step 3

Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the red wine and simmer for 5 minutes until reduced slightly.

Step 4

Add the canned tomatoes, crushing them with your hands as you add them. Pour in the milk, add salt and pepper, and reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer the sauce for 90 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Meanwhile, cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and lay them on a clean towel to prevent sticking.

Step 6

To make the béchamel, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk until smooth. Cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly grated nutmeg. Set aside.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 8

Spread a thin layer of Bolognese sauce on the bottom of the dish. Lay down 3 lasagna noodles. Spread a layer of Bolognese sauce, followed by a thin layer of béchamel. Sprinkle with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.

Step 9

Repeat the layers (noodles, Bolognese, béchamel, cheese) until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of béchamel and cheese on top.

Step 10

Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.

Step 11

Let the lasagna rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
