1. Make the meat sauce: Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil. Add ground beef and cook until browned. Add tomato sauce and season with oregano, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 20–30 minutes.
2. Make the béchamel: Melt butter in a saucepan. Whisk in flour to form a roux. Slowly add milk while whisking. Simmer until thickened. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
3. Assemble the lasagna: In a baking dish, spread a layer of meat sauce, then pasta sheets, then béchamel. Repeat layers, finishing with béchamel and a generous layer of mozzarella and Parmesan.
