Brown the ground beef in a pan to lock in the flavor, seasoning it with salt and pepper, then set it aside.
Add diced onion, celery, and carrot to the same pan and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Return the beef to the pan along with plenty of garlic and tomato paste, stirring to combine.
Deglaze the pan with red wine and beef broth, letting it simmer for a few minutes before adding the canned tomatoes.
Season the sauce with salt, pepper, oregano, basil, and fresh thyme, then let it simmer gently for 20 minutes.
To prepare the béchamel sauce, melt equal parts butter and flour in a pan and cook the flour briefly.
Gradually whisk in the milk and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Stir in large amounts of grated Parmesan and Pecorino cheeses and cook until the sauce thickens.
Season the béchamel with salt, pepper, paprika, and a pinch of nutmeg.
Whisk in the egg yolk thoroughly to enrich the sauce.
