**Cooking Method:** Baking, Stovetop - Sauteing

#### Ingredients

- 1 lb lasagna noodles
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 2 carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 2 tbsp tomato paste
- 28 oz canned crushed tomatoes
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp dried
- regano
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups milk
- 2 cups Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- salt
- black pepper

#### Instructions

1. Start with the ragù: Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery, cooking until softened, about 8 minutes.
2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Increase heat to medium-high and add ground beef and pork. Break up meat with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 10 minutes.
4. Pour in red wine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot - that's pure flavor you're rescuing!
5. Stir in tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes.
6. Add crushed tomatoes, bay leaves, oregano, and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for
8. 5 hours, stirring occasionally. The aroma will have everyone asking when dinner's ready!
9. For the béchamel: Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and whisk constantly for 2 minutes to make a roux.
10. Gradually whisk in milk and bring to a gentle simmer, continuing to whisk until smooth and thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
11. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Remove from heat.
12. Meanwhile, cook lasagna noodles in salted water until very al dente (about 2 minutes less than package instructions). Drain and lay flat on clean kitchen towels.
13. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
14. Assemble: Spread a thin layer of ragù on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Add a layer of noodles, followed by ragù, béchamel, and a sprinkle of Parmigiano.
15. Repeat layers (you should get 3-4 layers total), finishing with béchamel and a generous amount of Parmigiano on top.
16. Bake uncovered for 45 minutes until bubbling and golden brown on top.
17. Let rest for 15 minutes before serving - trust me, your patience will be rewarded with perfect slices!

### Storage & Make-Ahead [#](#)

**Storage Advice:** Can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in a 350°F (175°C) oven until heated through.

**Make-Ahead & Freezing Tips:** Can be assembled up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated unbaked. Excellent candidate for freezing (up to 3 months). Thaw overnight in refrigerator before baking.

**Dietary Information:** Contains gluten, dairy, and eggs; not suitable for vegans, vegetarians, or those with gluten, dairy, or egg allergies

### Serving & Variations [#](#)

**Serving Suggestions:** Serve on warmed plates with a simple green salad dressed with balsamic vinaigrette. For a complete Italian meal, start with an antipasto platter and finish with tiramisu.

**Wine or Drink Pairing:** A medium to full-bodied Italian red wine like Sangiovese, Chianti Classico or Montepulciano d'Abruzzo pairs beautifully with the rich meat sauce and creamy béchamel.

**Possible Recipe Variations:** Vegetable Lasagna: Replace meat with roasted vegetables and mushrooms. Seafood Lasagna: Use a mix of seafood in a creamy white sauce instead of meat ragù. Pesto Lasagna: Incorporate layers of basil pesto for a bright, herbaceous variation.

**Additional Notes:** The key to exceptional lasagna is patience - both with the slow-cooked ragù and allowing the finished dish to rest before serving.
