Ingredients

For the ragù:

800 g mixed ground meat (beef and pork)

200 g fresh pancetta

2 onions, 2 carrots, 2 celery stalks

2 tablespoons tomato paste

800 g chopped tomatoes

1 glass of red wine

Salt and pepper, to taste

Olive oil

Hot beef stock, as needed

Parmesan rind

For the fresh pasta:

250 g all-purpose flour (type 00)

250 g durum wheat semolina flour

5 eggs

A drizzle of olive oil

A pinch of salt

For the béchamel sauce:

100 g butter

100 g flour

1 liter milk

Salt and nutmeg, to taste

For assembling and baking:

Grated Parmesan cheese

Butter flakes

Pre-cooked ragù and béchamel

Blanched pasta sheets

Ragù:
Finely chop the onions, carrots, and celery. Brown the ground meat in a drizzle of olive oil, remove it from the pan, and set aside. Cook the pancetta until it releases its fat, then add the vegetables and let them gently soften. Stir in the tomato paste, return the meat to the pan, deglaze with red wine, and once the alcohol has evaporated, add the chopped tomatoes, stock, salt, pepper, and Parmesan rind. Cook in the oven at 150 °C (300 °F) for 3 hours, then stir in the milk and continue cooking for another 30 minutes.

Béchamel:
Melt the butter, add the flour, and cook briefly. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until thick and creamy. Season with salt and nutmeg, then let cool.

Fresh Pasta:
Knead the flour, semolina, eggs, olive oil, and salt until smooth. Let the dough rest in the fridge for 30 minutes. Roll out into thin sheets, blanch in salted water, then cool and dry.

Assembly:
Spread a thin layer of ragù and béchamel on the bottom of a baking dish. Layer the pasta sheets, ragù, béchamel, and Parmesan, repeating until you have 5 layers. Finish with butter flakes and Parmesan.

Final Bake:
Bake in the oven at 180 °C (350 °F) for 45 minutes, finishing under the broiler for a golden crust. Let rest for at least 15 minutes before serving.
