    **Ingredients**

    100g = 3.5 oz; 100ml = 1/2 cup

    Ragù:

    * 1000g minced beef
    * 500g minced pork
    * 200g pancetta
    * 1 large onion
    * 2 carrots
    * 2 celery sticks
    * 300ml dry red wine
    * 700ml sieved tomatoes
    * olive oil
    * salt, pepper

    Béchamel sauce:

    * 1000ml milk
    * 100g butter
    * 100g flour
    * nutmeg
    * salt, pepper

    Lasagne:

    * fresh egg-pasta lasagne sheets
    * 100g butter
    * 250g parmesan

    **Method**

    1. Heat oil in a pot, add the chopped vegetables and sauté them slowly on low heat. Add the pancetta.

    2. In a second pan, fry the minced meat in batches on medium-to-high heat (if it‘s losing a lot of water, let that evaporate, then fry on). Season with salt and pepper. Combine with the vegetables.

    3. Add the red wine, the tomato sauce and a cup of water. Let the ragout cook on low heat for at least 3 hours. Add water when necessary.

    4. For the béchamel, heat butter in a pot and whisk in the flour; make sure there are no flour lumps. Then add the room-temperature milk, and simmer — and keep stirring! After the sauce has thickened, add nutmeg, salt and pepper.

    5. In a baking dish, spread some tomato sauce on the ground, then a layer of pasta, then ragout, béchamel, parmesan, and, again, pasta. Continue and make your last layer a mix of béchamel and parmesan, and a little tomato sauce. Top with little bits of butter.

    6. Put in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes at 150C/300F.
