Lasagna with cheese on top

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

Every single recipe for lasagne that I have ever read (and I am quite old so that is running into the dozens) has finished with a grated layer of cheese (padana, Parmesan or parmigiano) but I usually use cheddar! Really weird to have no cheese. It would be like making an apple crumble, but without the crumble.

I make mine with bechamel sauce and grated parmesan on top. I don't like it with cheese sauce though, and definitely not cheddar!

Babyboomtastic · 15/10/2020 19:17

Belchamel sauce on every layer, alternated with a generous sprinkling of mozzarella or parmesan on each layer, and then a blend of those cheese plus cheddar in the top.

Lasagne without cheese is like complaining about chips in a chip shop.

Cheeseless lasagna is an abomination! What on earth would you use instead? It has to be: lasagna sheets, cheese sauce, sliced tomatoes (or Sun dried tomatoes), fresh mozzarella, grated extra mature cheddar, then salt and pepper. Mmm.

YABU. That's the best bit!

Where the heck did you learn to make lasagne if you think it doesn't have cheese on top? Confused

springiscoming12 · 15/10/2020 19:18

What? Lasagna without cheese? Where have you been eating?

FairFriday · 15/10/2020 19:18

Is that 1% defiant and 1% troll then?

SchrodingersImmigrant · 15/10/2020 19:19

@cherrybakewellll there is vegan "cheese".😁 Though that's usually so rank nothing might be better👀

Strugglingtodomybest · 15/10/2020 19:19

A simple Google would show you that lasagna has cheese on the top. Talk about attention seeking!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 15/10/2020 19:20

What sort of monster re you?

Traditionally lasagne doesn't have cheese on no. But it's amazing with it! I put Stilton in my cheese sauce and then a good sprinkle of grated cheddar on top. Try it. Live a little!
Are you sure about the no cheese? Anna del Conte uses cheese (but not cheddar!)
AcornsVsBcorns · 15/10/2020 19:20

Bloody hell.

As if 2020 hasn't been bad enough, without people trying to block the cheesy topping on lasagne.

MrsWhites · 15/10/2020 19:20

If you don’t have the gooey stretchy cheese on the top of a lasagne which bit do you eat first???

the cheese on top is the best bit! What kind of monster are you?

DelphineWalsh · 15/10/2020 19:21

No cheese? Heathen!

You throw it in the bin, can't be a good lasagne without the cheese on top

It really does.

Not cheddar, though. Traditionally it's parmesan or similar.

👏 👏 👏

I bet the OP is one of those strange people who say no to the Parmesan in Italian restaurants!

hesaidshesaidwhat · 15/10/2020 19:22

It has cheese but it does not have cheddar. It has parmesan and possibly mozzarella but never ever greasy cheddar. HTH.

NO CHEESE???? To coin a MN phrase, 'are you high on drugs?'
