RAGÙ ALLA BOLOGNESE
500g of pork mince
500g of beef mince
100g of pancetta, cubed (optional)
1 Med onion, finely diced
2 sticks of celery, finely diced
1 large carrot, peeled and finely diced
2 bay lefts
200ml of red wine, or white
1 can 800g of chopped tomatoes
5 tbsp of olive oil
salt
freshly ground black pepper

LASAGNE
Pyrex pan 35x24x6cm / 4-6 portions
16 sheets of lasagne pasta, preferably fresh, have extra on hand
100g of parmigiano reggiano, or pecorino, grated
400g Ricotta
300g Mozzarella di Bufula
1 large egg
Salt
Fresh Basil large handful

To begin, we make the ragù. Heat 4 tbsp of oil in a heavy-based pan and brown the mince (Do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan) Once nicely browned, remove from the pan. If there is a lot of fat, drain most of it away then set aside the cooked mince meat.
Wipe the pan out with some kitchen paper, then sauté the pancetta in 1 tbsp of olive oil, if you are adding this.
Next, we make the Soffritto. add the onions, celery and carrot to the pan and sautée for about 5 minutes, but don’t allow them to colour
Add the mince to the pan, stir everything together and add the wine. Turn up the heat and reduce the liquid by half.
Next, we add the canned tomatoes. Turn on a low heat, stir well and put a lid on the pan
Leave this to simmer for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally, it is important not to let this burn. So set a timer to remind yourself to check.
Once the ragù is ready (which can be made a day before if needed) it’s time to start layering the lasagna
Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F - check your oven to make sure it is at the correct temperature.
Begin with a layer of ragù, start with some tomato sauce, a sprinkling of Parmesan then layer the lasagna sheets. Add the Ricotta to the middle layer. The final layers should be lasagna topped with some sauce, Mozzarella and a good grating of Parmesan
Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, covering the top with foil to prevent it from browning too quickly. Remove from the oven and serve with more Parmesan and fresh basil.
