Begin by heating a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions, carrots, and celery, sautéing for about 5–7 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and let it cook for an additional minute. Incorporate the ground beef and pork; cook until browned, about 10 minutes. Mix in tomato paste, followed by crushed tomatoes and beef stock, adding red wine if desired. Season with oregano, basil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, then cover and simmer on low for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally until the flavors meld.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until bubbling. Whisk in all-purpose flour, cooking for 2–3 minutes to create a roux without allowing it to brown. Gradually add warm milk, continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring until thickened, which should take about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in a pinch of nutmeg and grated Parmesan cheese for a rich creamy béchamel that complements your Gordon Ramsay lasagna beautifully.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking. Start layering by spreading a generous amount of meat sauce on the bottom, followed by a layer of lasagna sheets. Pour some béchamel over the pasta, then repeat the process until the dish is filled, finishing with another layer of meat sauce. Top with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan for that irresistible golden crust.

Cover your assembled lasagna with aluminum foil, ensuring it doesn’t touch the cheese to avoid sticking. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After that, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15–20 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden. You’ll know it’s ready when you see the edges slightly crisped. Remove from the oven and let it sit for at least 15 minutes before serving, allowing the layers to settle and slice easily.

Before serving, garnish your gorgeous Gordon Ramsay lasagna with fresh basil leaves for an aromatic touch. This comforting dish pairs beautifully with a light salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. Wait for that first slice to reveal the layers of cheesy goodness, rich meat sauce, and smooth béchamel. Get ready to savor an indulgent, homemade delight that’s sure to impress!
