Method
Pasta

Make the Pasta Dough
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and crack in the eggs. Gradually mix the flour into the eggs using a fork until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let rest for at least 30 minutes.

Roll the Pasta
Divide the rested dough into four pieces. Using a pasta machine or a rolling pin, roll each piece thinly into sheets. Cut into lasagna sheets that will fit your baking dish.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until translucent. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until thickened.

Assemble the Lasagna
Preheat your wood-fired oven to 450°F (232°C). Spread a thin layer of meat sauce at the bottom of a baking dish. Layer with pasta sheets, followed by a layer of béchamel, then more meat sauce. Repeat layers, finishing with a layer of béchamel on top. Sprinkle grated Parmigiano cheese evenly over the top.
