Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion, carrot, celery, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute, allowing it to caramelize slightly.
- Pour in the crushed tomatoes and red wine. Season with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- While the sauce simmers, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- To assemble, spread a thin layer of the Bolognese sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Layer 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce, then spread another layer of Bolognese sauce over the noodles, followed by a layer of béchamel sauce.
- Sprinkle with a third of the grated Parmesan and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a final layer of béchamel and the remaining cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Allow the lasagna to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
