Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Cook the lasagna noodles according to package instructions until al dente; drain and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; add chopped onion and garlic, sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add ground beef to the skillet; cook until browned, breaking it apart, about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in white wine and beef broth; simmer until reduced by half, about 10 minutes.

Stir in salt, black pepper, nutmeg, and fresh basil; remove from heat and let cool slightly.

In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, egg, and a pinch of salt; mix until smooth.

Spread a layer of truffle cream sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.

Layer cooked lasagna noodles over the sauce, followed by a layer of the beef mixture, then a layer of the ricotta mixture, and a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.

Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with noodles topped with truffle cream sauce and parmesan cheese.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes; remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Let the lasagna rest for 10 minutes before slicing; garnish with fresh basil.
