1 lb.
(90% lean) ground beef
1 lb.
ground pork
3 tbsp.
tomato paste
2 (32-oz.)
jars marinara sauce
2 tsp.
kosher salt
4 c.
whole milk
1/2 c.
(1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 c.
all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp.
ground nutmeg
2 tsp.
kosher salt
1/2 tsp.
freshly ground black pepper

Instructions
STEP 1
In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat oil. Cook beef and pork, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until no longer pink, about 6 minutes. Drain excess fat.
STEP 2
Add tomato paste to pot and cook, stirring, until incorporated, about 1 minute. Add marinara sauce and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then stir in 1 teaspoon salt. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors have melded, about 20 minutes; season with remaining 1 teaspoon salt if needed.
STEP 3
In a medium pot over medium heat, heat milk until warm to the touch but not boiling.
STEP 4
In a large pot over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and cook, whisking frequently, until light tan in color and texture resembles wet sand, about 2 minutes. Whisking constantly, very slowly add milk until combined. Increase heat to medium-high and continue to cook, whisking constantly, until sauce is thickened and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes.
STEP 5
Pass spoon through edges of pot to collect any butter-flour mixture that wasn’t fully incorporated and mix to combine. Stir in nutmeg; season with salt and pepper.
STEP 6
Preheat oven to 350°. In a deep 13" x 9" ceramic, glass, or metal baking dish, spread 1 1/2 cups Bolognese, followed by 3 pasta sheets and 3/4 cup béchamel. Sprinkle with about one-fifth of mozzarella and Parmesan. Repeat to make 5 layers, finishing with cheese.
STEP 7
Spray a sheet of foil with cooking spray. Cover dish greased side down.
STEP 8
Bake lasagna for 20 minutes, then increase oven temperature to 400°. Uncover and continue to bake until sides are bubbling and darkened and cheese starts to turn golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
STEP 9
Turn broiler to medium. Broil lasagna, watching closely, until the top is browned in spots, about 1 minute.
STEP 10
Let cool for 15 minutes. Top with parsley.
