5. Add meat, let it cook a bit and then add the red wine (just enough to cover the meat, 1 glass should be enough but depends on your frying pan size).
6. When red wine has been absorbed, add the stock cubes (or salt and pepper) and mix well.
7. Add the passata di pomodoro, the concentrate tomato paste and the laurel leave. Cover the pan and let it cook in low fire until done (at least 1h).
8. The Lasagna magic:.
