Lasagna with cheese on top

451 replies

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

Hi have a little cafe and my lasagne flies out we sell tons. It's lovely and cheesy triple layer with grated on top 👍

OP, you're clearly mixing lasagne up with, I dunno, trifle or something.
Lasagne sans cheese??? What a fucking disgrace.

I bet your boss makes you wear heels and your mum keeps hitting you too, OP.

@TwistAndTout

Everything should have a layer of melted cheese on top. EVERYTHING.
Possibly not trifle, as agapanthus suggests, but otherwise, in general, I agree with your statement.

Everything should have a layer of melted cheese on top. EVERYTHING.

Certainly, if in doubt, this is a handy rule of thumb.

unchienandalusia · 15/10/2020 19:37

Yabvu and totally wrong. Of course lasagne has cheese on top. What kind of weird fuxked up dystopian world are you living in where this isn't the case?

WorryWartOne · 15/10/2020 19:37

My nonna, mother, father and in fact all my relatives would disagree with you. It's mozzarella sliced up and put in between every layer and Parmesan sprinkled liberally throughout and on top

@ErrolTheDragon

Wtf does a top layer of cheeseless bechamel look and taste like anyway? Confused

@SchadenfreudePersonified, I would probably rather have a trifle with cheese than a lasagne without though...

YABU but I love the fact your thread was next to the ‘if you are slim’ thread on most active List for a while.

steff13 · 15/10/2020 19:40

YABVU, cheese belongs on lasagna. I kind of want you to call and complain, though, so we can see what they say.

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 15/10/2020 19:40

@SleepingStandingUp Grin spot on.

No wonder OP's poor TH has to order lasagne in. She's making 2020 in food form.

Derelictwreck · 15/10/2020 19:41

NO NO NO

LASAGNE DOES NOT HAVE CHEESE ON

It's topped with béchamel! No cheese!

pastandpresent · 15/10/2020 19:42

Lasagna without cheese? That is very weird.

WorryWartOne · 15/10/2020 19:42

@SleepingStandingUp Si certo 😁 ... I guess you'll have to sit in the garden now though thanks to tier 2!! I'll chuck you a blanket 😂

SchrodingersImmigrant · 15/10/2020 19:43

Seriously, if OP returns, they deserve an applause for bravery😂😂 Not food knowledge, but bravery

AWryGiraffe · 15/10/2020 19:43

@Rhine

I don’t know WTF you’ve been eating before now OP, but it wasn’t a lasagne that’s for sure.
Think it was a sandwich

Get out with your blasphemous lies!

And that's why we're going to Worry's house for tea, not yours
jessstan1 · 15/10/2020 19:43

You would 'of' complained? Cheese is an essential component of lasagne, often three types of cheese and Bechamel sauce. I love it and now you've mentioned lasagne, I want one!

BrumBoo · 15/10/2020 19:43

Like life isn't depressing enough as it is. Lasagne without cheese, travesty. Bet you don't have a side of garlic bread either Sad.

Pinksmyfavoritecolour · 15/10/2020 19:44

Mine has no white sauce and only grated cheese, it’s how it’s liked in this house, nobody likes the sloppy white sauce I make.

Can't share so I'll bring one each 👍

@TartanDMs

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.
Plus the bolognese sauce of course.
