Quick-Made Recipe

1. Prepare ragu: Sauté finely chopped onions, carrots, celery, and garlic in olive oil; add ground beef (or vegetables), brown well, then stir in tomato paste, tomatoes, red wine, herbs, and simmer slowly for 45-60 minutes until thick and flavorful.
2. Make béchamel: Melt butter, whisk in flour to form a roux, gradually add warm milk while stirring until smooth and thickened; season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
3. Cook lasagna sheets in boiling salted water until just flexible; drain and cool slightly.
4. Layer in a baking dish: start with ragu, add pasta sheets, béchamel, grated mozzarella and parmesan; repeat layers, finishing with béchamel and generous cheese topping.
5. Bake at 180°C for 35-40 minutes until golden and bubbling; rest briefly before serving.
