Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Heat 1/4 cup of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the ground chuck beef and ground pork to the pot, breaking it apart with a spoon. Cook until thoroughly browned, about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking for an additional minute. Pour in 1 cup of dry white wine and add crushed plum tomatoes. Season and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook mafaldine pasta or broken lasagna noodles until just shy of al dente, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and toss with 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine beaten eggs, coarse cracked black pepper, half of the grated Pecorino Romano, and half of the shredded mozzarella. Add the cooled pasta and mix.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a deep-dish pie pan, layer half of the pasta mixture, dot with ricotta cheese, and top with half of the meat sauce.
- Finish with a portion of the remaining cheeses, then repeat layers. Sprinkle remaining cheeses over the top layer.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let it cool for 10 minutes before serving.
