3 bay leaves
2 tbsp paprika
2 x 400g tins chopped tomatoes
500ml beef bone broth
A splash of red wine
A splash of Worcestershire sauce
3 tbsp olive oil
Salt and black pepper
Béchamel
70g butter
70g plain flour
800ml milk
80g grated cheddar
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
Pinch of nutmeg
Salt and pepper
To Assemble
Pasta sheets (fresh or dried)
100g grated cheddar
50g mozzarella
60g grated parmesan
Handful of basil leaves
Steps
Heat olive oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Brown the chorizo, then the beef mince.
Add the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft, then add the grated carrot and paprika and cook another 4 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and bay leaves for 30 seconds, then pour in the red wine and let it bubble until mostly reduced.
Add the chopped tomatoes and beef bone broth, season, and simmer gently for 45 mins until rich and thick.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan, stir in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in the milk a little at a time until thick and silky. Add cheddar, mustard, nutmeg, salt and pepper.
Heat oven to 180°C. Spread a thin layer of bolognese in the base of a baking dish, then add a layer of pasta sheets.
Repeat layers of bolognese, béchamel and pasta until everything is used, including the basil, finishing with béchamel.
Top with mozzarella and parmesan. Cover with paper and foil and bake for 20 mins, then uncover for a further 15–20 mins until golden and bubbling.
Rest for 10–15 minutes before cutting. Serve with a salad.
