Boil fresh spinach for a couple of minutes, rinse in cold water, and squeeze dry.

Mix 400 grams of zero zero flour with 3 eggs and the cooled spinach, knead for around 10 minutes.

Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough into sheets, cutting them to the size of the baking tray.

In a skillet, fry pancetta and add minced pork neck, then add white wine, passata, salt, and black pepper.

Prepare a béchamel sauce by whisking together 3 tablespoons each of butter and flour, then adding warmed milk.

Drop pasta sheets into simmering salted water for 1 minute, then transfer to cold water and drain on a cloth.

Assemble the lasagna by starting with a little meat sauce, adding a pasta sheet, more sauce, and a sprinkling of grated parmigiano, repeating the layers and finishing with cheese on top.

Bake in a moderate oven until ready.
