Lasagna

>>9425374
I make my sauce from scratch. Then I layer dry noodle sauce, shredded cheese/grated reggiano/ricotta mix, dry noodle sauce shredded cheese/grated reggiano/ricotta. I then do a third layer. Bake at 350°f for like 45 min and then broil the top so it gets those brown spots on the cheese

>well seasoned bechamel sauce
>traditional Lasagna noodles, preferably fresh sheets, but none of that "no-cook" bullshit, the texture is terrible.

>>9425408
Wut. Elaborate never have I ever lived in flyover land or seen lasagna without cheese. Is this some kinda meme or troll I'm unaware of?

>>9425408
A little cheese on the top is perfectly common. Cheese all the way through is fatass flyover. Don't be stupid.

>>9425416
This.
Also flyover is a state of mind not just a geographical location.

>>9425416
Every lasagna, including those made by native Italians, I've ever seen has at least a layer of ricotta in the middle. Y'all got poverty lasagna if it's that short on cheese.

>>9425374

White chicken lasagna with wilted spinach, caramelized shallots and compound bachamel sauce using parmesan, pecorino and fontina cheeses.

>>9425374
Vegetarian lasagna is dope

>>9425416
>>9425422
That guy's just being purposefully contrarian. The very traditional Italian Lasagna recipes don't use any cheese, just noodles, ragu, and bechamel. However other modern Italian Lasagna recipes use cheese just on top, never as a filling. At any rate you should always use bechamel, it's just not Lasagna without it.

>>9425425
Wrong. You're making shit up.

>>9425425
>including those made by native Italians
Béchamel is used but cheese is not added (that would be a mornay and is definitely not found in real lasagne).

>>9425425
>ricotta
I think I just pissed myself...

Open box of Stouffers. Put in oven. Add extra mozzarella halfway through cooking. Enjoy!

I use the Kraft recipe(s). A couple years ago me and my wife decided to try to make it together thinking it'd be super fucking tough. Went to Kraft website and got the ingredients and directions. Threw it together in very quick time and cooked it and bam turned out GREAT. All their recipe's look similar so I guess pick one of the simple ones and go with it.

I will say the only thing that fucks us sometimes is forgetting to cover the very edges of lasagna before we set it to cook. If I remember correctly any pieces of lasagna that is left like out while set to cook won't cook and will basically be hard and shit when you pull it out when it's done cooking. I guess cover it with the meat sauce.

Yes it this special pan is the only way to make a proper lasagna

>>9425579
He probably means you should use a steel tin rather than a casserole. Stops the edges of the lasagne crisping up. A casserole is essentially a French baking dish more suited to recipes using more liquid than a lasagne.

>>9425604
It's true, though. Lasagna is a time consuming and expensive food that required it's own dish. When the Italians originally invented lasagna, it was reserved for wealthy merchants in the North. It wasn't until it reached the South of Italy, that people were just making it lackadaisically with ricotta in a cheap tin pot in the fireplace. Then Americans ruined it by making it into this cheap casserole with real cheese instead of rich bechamel. Furthermore, they made vegetarian casserole and called it lasagna.

>>9425638

Putting any cheese in lasagne is literally soccer mom: the recipe.

>>9425638
The thing is tho is that popular dishes evolve, and that you don't prefer those other versions doesn't make them not lasagna. It's like saying margherita pizza is the only pizza, an equally cringey assertion.

>>9425649
Italian reporting.
Some cheese on the top for flavor is okay. But that's it.

The worst thing I ever saw or tasted relating to lasagna was when I was an exchange student, and my host mom made lasagna for my first dinner in the US and put cottage cheese in the filling. I was fucking horrified and disgusted. Worst thing I've ever had to choke down to be polite. Then I found out it's pretty common in much of the US. Wtf.

>>9425638
I'm not sure what soccer mom is, but it's definitely not Italian. It's funny when talking to Americans about authentic Italian cuisine. They think eggplant rollatini, stuffed peppers, and tomato sauces are authentic Italian cuisine. I have to remind them that those all use new world vegetables. Traditional Italians never eat those.

>>9425671

Ricotta is perfectly fine on Lasagna (sheep milk, not cow).
As is Bechemel (Italian style, not french, that means no nutmeg or onion pique)
One or the other.

Bechemel is NORTHERN Italian.
Ricotta is SOUTHERN Italian.

America had a lot of Southern Italian immigrants, and they brought the Ricotta style to America.

It's not a flyover thing, it's Sicilian.

>>9426641
No, the flyover thing is using cottage cheese instead of ricotta.

Also, Northern style is best style.

I like mine made from scratch with Bolognese, bechemel, parmigiano and a little mozz on top. I like to use very thin noodles and a lot of layers as it makes the lasagna lite as opposed to the typical heavy shit you get in most Murricanized' recipes.

I use bechamel, a ragu very lightly flavoured with anchovies, whole wheat pasta, 33/33/33 pork, venison and oxtail, and a bit of Manchego on the top. Fuck tradition, I do what I want and it tastes fantastic.

Add ricotta, thank me later.

>>9425437
Italian here, I have no idea what you fucking Americans are talking about lasagna with no cheese. And bechamel/cream sauces are sneered at in most parts of the motherland. I'm actually disappointed by the lack of bechamel if I'm being honest but that's how it is typically served to me and I don't complain.

>>9426840
Your variation isn't too different from traditional style, so I don't know why anyone would be upset about. I think the major disputes over this come down to ingredient + technique, not just ingredient. There's traditional technique, and 'murrican technique, and then people add all kinds of personal favorite ingredients, which together makes for fucking clan fighting.

>>9426895
They're not Americans, dude, they're brit/assfalian trash....as usual.

instead of meat sauce with ground beef I like to braise a beef roast in red wine and crushed tomato and shred that for the filling. it tastes great and if guidos want to cal me flyover they can suck my dick.

>>9427226
Nothing wrong with that at all, you're just using shredded beef instead of ground. I'm sure it's delicious. I might try that next time I make lasagna, since I roast beef shank and short ribs fairly frequently.
