Step-by-Step

For Meat Sauce:
In a 4-qt Dutch oven, cook sausage, ground sirloin, onion, pancetta, carrot, sweet pepper, celery, and the 4 cloves of minced garlic over medium-high heat until meat is brown and onion is tender. Break up meat as it cooks. Drain off Fat.
Stir in tomatoes, tomato paste, wine, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions; drain. Rinse with cold water and drain again.
For Porcini-Parmesan Sauce:
Place dried porcini mushrooms in a small bowl; add enough boiling water to cover. Let stand 10 minutes; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain again. Chop mushrooms; set aside.
In a large saucepan; cook and stir minced garlic in hot butter over medium heat for 30 seconds. Stir in flour until combined.
Slowly stir in milk and wine (milk may curdle if using wine, but sauce will appear smooth when finished). Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Remove from heat.
