LASAGNA ALLA BESCIAMELLA

Steps:

• To make the meat ragu: Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until soft and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add the ground beef, sausage, salt, basil, Italian seasoning, oregano and pepper to taste and increase the heat to high. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned all over. Add the tomatoes. Pour some of the wine into the empty tomato boxes to rinse out the last bits of tomatoes and add to the pot, along with the remaining wine. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the sauce thickens and the flavors come together, about 1 hour. Add a healthy amount of black pepper.
• To make the besciamella: Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until just simmering, then turn off the heat. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour to the butter and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and then loosens again, about 2 minutes. Add the hot milk, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil. Add the nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, whisking almost constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and use immediately.
• To make the lasagna: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread an even layer of the meat ragu over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce lengthwise across the short side of the pan. Avoid overlapping or allowing them to touch the sides of the pan because they will expand as they cook. Press down slightly to let the sauce spread around them. Cover with one-quarter of the besciamella and sprinkle with one-third of the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Add another layer of ragu. Add 3 more noodles, arranging them in the opposite direction from the first layer and breaking 1 of the noodles in half if necessary to fit. Add one-quarter of the besciamella and half of the mozzarella. Make a third layer of ragu, noodles (alternating directions again), besciamella and one-third of the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Add another layer of ragu, then the remaining mozzarella, noodles (alternating the noodles again), besciamella and ragu.
• Cover the pan with foil and bake until heated through, about 35 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the top is brown and bubbling, about 20 minutes more. During the last 10 minutes of baking, scatter the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano all over. Let the lasagna stand for 10 minutes before serving.

• Stir ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, Cheddar cheese, eggs, and remaining 1/4 cup parsley together in a large bowl until smooth.

LASAGNA WITH HOT ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND HAMBURGER

Steps:

• Cook noodles until tender but not well done. Drain and rinse to help prevent from sticking together. Meanwhile, cook ground italian sausage in a large, deep skillet or pan until no longer pink. Rope or link style italian sausage is okay, just cut the casing off before cooking. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook untill all meat is starting to brown. Also meanwhile, combine the cheeses and parsley in a large bowl. Mix well.
• Use a large baking pan (I use a 13" wide x 18" long x 3" deep) Spread a layer of sauce across the bottom of the pan, slightly more than just enough to cover the entire surface. Place a layer of noodles on top of the sauce, overlapping the edges just a bit. Spoon some of the cheese mixture (about 1/4) on top of the noodles (in even globs). Sprinkle with 1/4 of the meat mixture. Spoon some sauce on top. Then another layer noodle -- cheese -- meat -- sauce -- noodle -- cheese -- meat -- sauce -- noodle -- cheese -- meat -- sauce. Then top with another layer of noodle and sauce spread evenly on top. Remember to slightly overlap the noodles in each layer. (You may have some left over noodles and sauce which is great to spread a little sauce on a noodle and roll up as a snack for an impatient child.)
• Cover tightly with foil. Cook in a preheated oven at 325 degrees on center rack for 1 hour. Let cool at least 20 minutes before cutting to help prevent the cheese from running. Serve with a side salad and garlic bread.
