Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
Bolognese Sauce
2 oz diced pancetta, finely chopped
1 medium Spanish onion or yellow onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
4 tbsp unsalted butter
11 oz ground beef
4 oz ground pork
4 oz ground Italian sausage
1 freshly ground clove
Dash of freshly ground cinnamon
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 lb peeled and chopped tomatoes (or 1 28-oz can whole peeled tomatoes)
1 cup whole milk
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Bechamel Sauce
2 cups whole milk
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose unbleached flour
Lasagna
Enough lasagna noodles to make four layers in a 13x9-inch baking pan with the lasagna pieces overlapping each other a little bit.
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Bolognese Meat Sauce: Make the soffritto. Combine pancetta, onion, celery, and carrot in sauté pan with butter and cook over medium heat until onion turns pale gold. Add the beef, pork, sausage to the soffritto, and increase the heat to high; cook until browned. Sprinkle with the clove, cinnamon, and pepper. Stir in tomatoes, bring to a simmer and reduce the heat to medium. Cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. If you are using whole canned tomatoes, break them up as you add them to the sauce. Add milk and season with sea salt. Then turn down the heat and let simmer for 2 1/2 hours. Stir at least every 20 minutes. Whenever the sauce simmers down to the point that it is sticking to the bottom of the pan, just add 1/4 cup of water and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom and continue to cook.
Make the Bechamel sauce. Heat the milk until almost boiling in a heavy bottomed sauce pan. In a separate pan melt the unsalted butter with the flour over low heat. Stir rapidly with a spoon. Cook this for 1 minute and then remove from the heat.
Slowly add half the hot milk to your butter and flour mixture. During this process stir constantly. Return the milk, butter, flour mixture to low heat until the sauce begins to thicken. Add the remaining milk slowly while stirring working it into the thickened sauce. Continue to stir until it comes to a boil. Season with some sea salt, and continue stirring until the right consistency has developed. If any lumps form, beat them out rapidly with a whisk until they dissolve. Remove from heat.
Prepare the Lasagna
Preheat oven to 375. Cook the lasagna according to instructions. About 8 minutes in 6 quarts of boiling salted water. Drain, rinse with cold water. Lay the individual lasagna noodles out on kitchen towels, not touching, so they do not stick together while you layer the casserole. Spread a little olive oil around the inside of a 13x9-inch baking pan. Put a layer of lasagna noodles down first. Layer on a third of the bolognese sauce, then a third of the bechamel sauce. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan. Repeat two more times. Top with a final layer of noodles and sprinkle with grated Parmesan.
Tent the casserole with aluminum foil. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until the top begins to get lightly browned. Remove from oven and let cool 5-10 minutes before serving.
