Make the béchamel sauce and set it aside. In a small saucepan, melt the butter.

Once the butter is melted, gradually add the flour.

Stir constantly while adding the milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Keep stirring until the sauce thickens.

The béchamel is ready; set it aside for later.

Prepare the Bolognese sauce and set it aside. In a large pot, heat olive oil and add the soffritto. Sauté until softened.

Add the ground meat and pork rib pieces to the pot.

Once the meat is browned, pour in a splash of white wine.

When everything is nicely browned, add all the tomato sauce, salt, and pepper. Let it cook.

Don’t let the sauce reduce too much; set it aside when done.

Prepare the lasagna noodles.

In a small pot, heat water. When hot, turn off the heat and soak the lasagna noodles to soften them before assembling.

In a baking dish, spread some Bolognese sauce and béchamel sauce.

Add a layer of lasagna noodles.

On top of the noodles, add more Bolognese sauce, béchamel, and grated cheese. Repeat the layers until all the noodles are used. You should have about four layers.

For the final layer, top with all the remaining Bolognese sauce, grated cheese, and béchamel. Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes.

The lasagna is ready.

Voilà! My Sicilian-style Bolognese lasagna is ready to enjoy. Wishing everyone a great meal!
