Ingredients
  

For Meat Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion finely chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 carrot finely chopped
  • 1 celery stalk finely chopped
  • 500 g ground beef
  • 500 g ground pork
  • 1 can 400 g chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For Béchamel Sauce:

  • 50 g butter
  • 50 g all-purpose flour
  • 500 ml milk
  • Salt pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg

For Assembly:

  • 12 lasagna sheets
  • 150 g grated Parmesan cheese
  • 150 g grated mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

Prepare the Meat Sauce

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan. Add onion, garlic, carrot and celery. Cook until soft. Add ground beef and pork. Cook until browned.

Add Tomatoes and Herbs

  • Stir in chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. Simmer for 20–25 minutes. Sauce should thicken and flavors combine.

Make the Béchamel Sauce

  • Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in flour to form a smooth paste. Gradually whisk in milk until thick and creamy. Season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Preheat Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish with a thin layer of meat sauce at the bottom.

Layer the Lasagna

  • Place a layer of lasagna sheets over the sauce. Spread meat sauce, then béchamel and sprinkle some Parmesan and mozzarella. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used.

Top with Cheese

  • Finish with a layer of béchamel sauce. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan and mozzarella on top. This will create a golden, bubbly crust.

Bake the Lasagna

  • Cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling.

Cool and Serve

  • Remove lasagna from oven. Let it cool for 10 minutes. This helps it set and makes slicing easier. Serve warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs for stronger flavor.
  • Do not overcook pasta before layering.
  • Simmer meat sauce slowly for better taste.
  • Stir béchamel constantly to prevent lumps.
  • Let lasagna rest before cutting for clean slices.
