  • 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.
