  • Add wine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Stir in parsley and salt and pepper.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Butter an 18-by-13 1/2-by-3-inch baking dish.
  • Spread a layer of béchamel sauce on the bottom of the dish.
  • Add half the pasta to the pan.
  • Top with half the remaining sauce and half the pancetta mixture.
  • Sprinkle with half of the Parmesan and pecorino.
  • Top with remaining pasta.
  • Top with remaining pancetta mixture, sauce and cheeses. (Can be prepared one day in advance.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Let lasagna come to room temperature before baking.)
  • Cover with foil and bake for 50 to 60 minutes.
  • Remove foil and bake for 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven. Let rest 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
  • smaller version:
  • Assembly
  • Follow same directions as for larger version, except use a 13-by-9-by-3-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Decrease baking time to 20 to 30 minutes, covered with foil, and an additional 10 to 15 minutes uncovered.
  • Let rest 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
  • Bechemel sauce: The directions are the same for each quantity.
  • In a saucepan, heat the milk over low heat just until small bubbles come to the surface.
  • Remove the pan from direct heat, cover and keep warm.
  • In a separate saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
  • Whisk the flour into the butter and continue to whisk for 1 minute.
  • Gradually whisk in the warmed milk; bring to a simmer and whisk frequently until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes for a small batch, 6 to 8 for a larger batch.
  • Remove from the heat.
  • Stir in salt and pepper.
  • To prevent a skin from forming on top of the sauce, either whisk occasionally as the sauce cools or place a piece of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the sauce.
  • Use immediately or cool to room temperature.
  • Keep in an airtight container and refrigerate overnight.
  • Reheat sauce before assembling lasagna.
