  3. When the butter starts foaming, add the diced onion, carrot, celery, and garlic.
  4. Sauté and stir until the onion is soft and translucent.
  5. This is the time to add the ground meat if using.
  6. Stir with a wooden spoon, and break the meat into small bits. Cook until the meat is fully browned.
  7. Add the wine, salt and pepper (to taste). Turn the heat to high, and let the wine evaporate. (Posting of 1/4 cup wine would not register correctly when entering recipe).
  8. Add the tomato, nutmeg, and milk (milk helps cut down on acidity). When the sauce starts boiling, turn the heat to low.
  9. Cover the saucepan and simmer slowly for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

  13. Add the milk a little at a time. Put the saucepan back on the stove and slowly stir with a wooden spoon, until the sauce starts boiling and becomes thicker.
  14. Turn heat off. Add salt to taste, and stir in the 1 oz. grated parmigiano cheese and pinch of nutmeg.

  20. Spread 2-3 Tbs. of tomato sauce over the bottom of the baking dish.

  22. Spread with tomato sauce but not so thick you can't see pasta showing thru.
  23. Spread with Balsamella white sauce. Try to pour as evenly as possible but don't blend. Not all tomato sauce should be covered.
  24. Top with 2 ozs grated parmigiano reggiano cheese.
  25. Repeat two times.
  26. Top layer will be a beautiful marble of white sauce over the tomato sauce.
  27. Bake for about 25 – 30 minutes. Doneness is when you fork the lasagna, it will pull out easily from the pasta.
