minutes. Add garlic; cook 1 minute. Add wine, stirring with wooden
spoon to deglaze pan; simmer until reduced by 1/2, about 15 minutes.
Add heavy cream and nutmeg; simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in tomatoes and their juice, breaking up with a wooden spoon.
Cover and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours.
Season with salt and pepper. For The Bechamel Sauce, melt butter on
low heat in a saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook 1 minute.
Gradually whisk in the milk and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Reduce heat; season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes. Cook
the pasta in a large pot of boiling, salted water until tender, about
3 minutes for fresh pasta. Drain and refresh under cold water. Pour
a thin layer of Bolognese Sauce into bottom of baking dish. Arrange a
layer of pasta on top. Pour 1/3 of the Bolognese and then 1/3 of the
Bechamel over pasta. Sprinkle 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat for 2
more layers, ending with the Parmesan cheese. NOTE: Lasagne can be

until warmed through, about 20 minutes. Remove foil and put lasagne
under broiler until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let lasagne sit
for 10 minutes before serving.
