Method

Bolognese Sauce Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and pork, cooking until browned. Break up the meat with a spoon as it cooks.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables

    Stir in the chopped onion, carrot, celery, and minced garlic. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 3

    Deglaze with Wine

    Pour in the red wine and let it simmer until mostly evaporated.

  4. 4

    Add Tomatoes and Seasonings

    Add the crushed tomatoes, salt, black pepper, oregano, and torn basil. Stir well and let the sauce simmer on low heat for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Bechamel Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Roux

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes until it turns light golden brown.

  2. 6

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 7

    Season the Sauce

    Add nutmeg and salt to the bechamel sauce, mixing well. Remove from heat and set aside.

Lasagna Assembly

  1. 8

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

  2. 9

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of Bolognese sauce on the bottom. Layer 3 lasagna sheets, then add a portion of the Bolognese sauce, followed by a layer of ricotta, a little bechamel, and mozzarella. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with bechamel and a sprinkle of Grana Padano and Pecorino on top.

  3. 10

    Bake the Lasagna

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.

  4. 11

    Garnish and Serve

    Let the lasagna rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with torn basil leaves before serving.
