Instructions
 
Prepare the Meat Sauce:
  • Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef and pork to the pan. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned.
  • Pour in the red wine and simmer until it's reduced by half.
  • Stir in the crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, sugar, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and bay leaf. Simmer the sauce on low heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the bay leaf once the sauce is done.
Make the Béchamel Sauce:
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  • Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 2 minutes to form a roux.
  • Gradually pour in the warmed milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Lasagna:
  • Preheat your oven to 375°F
  • Spread a thin layer of meat sauce at the bottom of a large baking dish.
  • Place a layer of lasagna sheets over the sauce.
  • Spread a layer of meat sauce over the lasagna sheets, followed by a layer of béchamel sauce.
  • Sprinkle a handful of shredded mozzarella cheese over the béchamel.
  • Repeat the layers, ending with a final layer of béchamel sauce.
  • Top with the remaining mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake:
  • Cover the lasagna with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, until the top is golden and bubbly.
  • Allow the lasagna to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
