In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, diced carrot, and diced celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef and ground pork. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and red wine. Stir well to combine.
Add the bay leaf, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the sauce simmer for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
While the sauce is simmering, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined and set aside.
In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the Bolognese sauce on the bottom.
Place a layer of gluten-free lasagna noodles over the sauce.
Spread half of the ricotta mixture evenly over the noodles. Then, sprinkle with 1 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
Repeat with another layer of noodles, the remaining ricotta mixture, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese, and more Bolognese sauce.
Place the final layer of noodles on top and cover with the remaining Bolognese sauce. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Let the lasagna cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
