Ingredients | Spaghetti Bolognese Pasta

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 small onion, chopped

1 carrot, chopped

1 shallot, minced

3 ½ ounces prosciutto, chopped

11 ounces ground pork

11 ounces ground beef

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

salt to taste

6 fluid ounces red wine

21 ounces peeled San Marzano tomatoes

6 tablespoons butter

⅔ cup all-purpose flour

3 ¼ cups milk

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

salt and ground black pepper to taste

11 ounces lasagna noodles

2 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Directions

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion, carrot, shallot, and prosciutto until onion is translucent and prosciutto releases some fat, about 10 minutes. Add pork and beef; season with 1 teaspoon nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt to taste. Cook and stir over medium-high heat until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes.

Pour red wine over meat mixture; increase heat and cook until wine evaporates, about 3 minutes. Add tomatoes and mix well; bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes break down and flavors of Bolognese sauce have combined, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour. Whisk vigorously until mixture is smooth. Pour in milk and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until white sauce thickens enough to cover the back of a spoon, about 10 minutes; season with 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Lay noodles on a clean towel and pat dry.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Pour a ladleful of Bolognese sauce and a ladleful of white sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish; top with 3 or 4 lasagna noodles. Cover noodles with 1/3 of the white sauce and 1/3 of the Bolognese sauce. Sprinkle some of the Parmesan cheese on top; cover with lasagna noodles. Repeat layers, ending with white sauce and Parmesan cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and top is golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes. Let stand 3 to 4 minutes before slicing.

This lasagna is perfect to prepare in advance. Simply cool to room temperature after baking, then cover and keep in the fridge. Reheat in the oven until heated through, 10 to 20 minutes.

Bacon can be used in place of the prosciutto, if desired.

Passata (tomato puree) can be used in place of the San Marzano tomatoes.
