- 1 medium Carrot, finely chopped
- 1 medium Celery stalk, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
- 800 grams Canned crushed tomatoes
- 125 milliliters Red wine
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 250 grams Ricotta cheese

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic, ground beef, chopped carrot, and celery. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, about 7-10 minutes.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes. Then add the crushed tomatoes, red wine, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Simmer the sauce on low for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth and set aside.
To assemble the lasagna, spread a thin layer of the Bolognese sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Place a layer of gluten-free lasagna sheets over the sauce (break sheets if necessary to fit).
Spread half of the ricotta mixture over the lasagna sheets.
Top with a third of the mozzarella cheese, then cover with a layer of Bolognese sauce.
Repeat layers, starting with more lasagna sheets, the remaining ricotta mixture, a third of the mozzarella, and Bolognese sauce.
Finish with a final layer of lasagna sheets, remaining Bolognese sauce, and top with the rest of the mozzarella cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
