Prepare the ragù by browning the minced pork and beef in a pot.

Add chopped onion, garlic, celery, carrot, and potato to the meat and sauté until softened.

Stir in the tomato concentrate, followed by the passata di pomodoro.

Add bay leaves, clove, salt, pepper, and chili to taste.

Pour in the red wine and let it simmer until the sauce thickens.

For the béchamel, melt butter in a saucepan, add flour and cook for a minute.

Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring until the sauce thickens, then season with nutmeg.

For the pasta, mix eggs, semolina, and flour to form a dough, then roll it out thinly.

Layer the ragù, béchamel, and pasta in a baking dish, repeating until all ingredients are used.

Bake in the oven until golden and bubbly.
