Let's break up the eternal question once and for all. What is the best for lasagna? Is it bechamel or ricotta?

>> No.14665971

Ricotta, obviously.

typically I go for ricotta because it's actually cheese where as bechamel is just tame alfredo

>> No.14666047

Herbed ricotta all the way.

Bechamel adds nothing to the lasagna while ricotta has a stronger taste and adds great texture to the dish

I just use sour cream with an egg beaten in for richness...

Roux is flour and fat that's cooked together to thicken liquids. It's how you make gravy or a nice stew.

This will trigger euros but I made lasagna once with cottage cheese and it wasn't bad. Italians can't even agree on what cheeese to use so they can get fucked

I put cottage cheese on a burrito once when i was out of sour cream. It was fantastic.

>> No.14666530

Cottage cheese.
Better flavor than bechamel, better texture than ricotta.

>> No.14666560

I make bechamel and I use it to thicken my bolognese. It's convenient.

the first so called "lasagna" dish, aka layers of lasagna (flat rectangles of egg pasta) and meat and cheese, come from Naples
they used to use provola or mozzarella, generic meatballs, and ricotta
enter the bolognese folk
they started layering lasagna made with a bit of spinach with bolognese sauce/ragú and bechamel
that became the most famous type of lasagna dish in Italy, and by and large in the whole world
so people started putting bechamel in lasagne around 200 years ago in Bologna, and now everyone everywhere is doing it
