Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground lamb and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5 minutes.
Add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, carrot, and celery to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Add the canned diced tomatoes, red wine, and beef broth. Season with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes until the sauce thickens, stirring occasionally.
While the sauce simmers, prepare the béchamel sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the gluten-free flour and cook for 1 minute to remove the raw flavor.
Gradually whisk in the milk. Continue to whisk over medium heat until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth, about 10 minutes.
Stir in the nutmeg and Parmesan cheese until the cheese is melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
Cook the gluten-free lasagna noodles according to the package instructions and drain.
To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the lamb sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Lay down a layer of gluten-free lasagna noodles. Top with a layer of lamb sauce, followed by a layer of béchamel sauce. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of béchamel sauce and mozzarella on top.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
Let the lasagna cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
