Part-skim mozzarella reduces fat, while provolone is often less expensive.

ground beef

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground chicken

Ground turkey is leaner, and ground chicken is often cheaper.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Nutritional yeast is dairy-free, while grana padano is a less expensive cheese option.

In a large pot, heat the olive oil and add the mixed ground meat and pork, cooking until browned.

Add chopped onions, celery, and carrots, sautéing until softened.

Pour in the white wine and let it evaporate.

Stir in the passata di pomodoro and water, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Simmer for a while.

Prepare the béchamel sauce by melting butter in a saucepan, adding flour to create a roux, and gradually whisking in the milk until thickened. Season with nutmeg and salt.

Layer the lasagna sheets with the meat sauce, béchamel, and grated Parmigiano in a baking dish.

Bake in the oven until golden and bubbly.
