Lasagna with cheese on top

[RainbowRaine]

Just ordered a food delivery as a treat, DH ordered a lasagna and it came with cheese on top.

I would of complained as cheese does not belong on lasagna but DH loves it as says it's meant to come with melted grated cheese on top.

I disagree and think it's just meant to have the white sauce.

Should Lasagna have cheese?

YANBU = No cheese

YABU = Yes cheese

Just reading through everyone replies and I can see that cheese does belong on a lasagna I think you are all wrong

If your only experience of Lasagne is the horrible cheap diet ready meal versions, then you may be forgiven. Some of those don't have cheese on.

Janevaljane I make my own just never add cheese on top.

Kudos for returning😂

Where do we stand on garlic bread and lasagne. Or lasagne and chips?

What did your DH think of his lasagne OP? Was it nice?

Of course you can disagree if you like, especially if you're not a cheese fan. I would add cheese to the top of a moussaka if I could, even though it's already topped with inch thick bechamel

So what do you do instead then?

Explain the top inch of your lasagna to us please?

Are you thinking of moussaka, OP?

Feisty one you are!

@Ginfordinner

You do put cheese IN the sauce don’t you OP, tell me you do?

Traditional lasgane isn't made with cheese sauce, but I'm into fusion cooking , so I often put cheese in it.

Traditional lasagne is made with bechamel sauce mixed with the meat sauce and cheese.

Here in Italy.

Lasagne without cheese grated on the top!? Where were you dragged up OP.

I like to tuck pieces of mozzarella in the lasagne as well, lovely, gooey melty cheese. Yum.

Of course it does, it’s one of the cheesiest pasta dishes in existence.

Do you at least sprinkle cheese in between the layers?

Even if you don’t make it with cheese on top why would you complain?! It’s a really normal and common thing - absolutely nowhere near complaint worthy.

Obviously YABU. I'm slightly baffled by the occasional poster who says "No cheese on the top, just parmesan" , including the one who defended this by claiming Brits mean cheddar when they say cheese. Ummm no, we are aware that other cheeses exist, and that parmesan is in fact cheese.

I hope all you lasagne fans have discovered the awesome 'Pasta Grannies' FB page. Videos of ancient Italian nonne deftly creating rustic pasta dishes in their own kitchens with their skilled, gnarled hands. And of course putting lots of parmesan other cheeses too) on things (including their various versions of lasagne).

Too much stodge for me. I'm not a manual labourer. I like salad with mine.

Me too - but some people do like their carbs.

@FairFriday

too much. maybe a leafy salad as side or some extra roasted veg.

Also I'm not stingy with my portions so there is no need for more carbs.

Love lasagne with garlic bread and chips!

But then I am from the town that created the pie barm (meat and potato pie on a bread roll) so triple carbs is the opposite of a problem to me!

The cheesy topping is the best bit.

No cheese on top? What fresh hell is this? Pshaw!

My family is Italian (from Puglia) and we always make lasagne with mozzarella & parmesan cheese on top and parmesan between the layers and NO bechamel sauce!
