This version is made with a meaty Bolognese style sauce along with ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses. I use ground beef and ground Italian sausage in this lasagna (pictured), but it could be made with all ground beef or a mixture of ground beef and ground pork. Rather than the thick layers of ricotta and mozzarella typical in an Italian-American lasagna, lasagna alla Bolognese is made with slow-cooked meat sauce, creamy béchamel, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. To make an especially traditional lasagna alla Bolognese, try using spinach pasta instead of plain egg noodles. Both are incredible, but I have to give it to Bolognese, slightly.
