Do you think lasagne would taste ok if i skipped the white sauce bit?

[Pinkflipflop]

I don't really like the white sauce bit!

I will use lots and lots of cheese though - am I kidding myself that it would still be ok? Am making some tomorrow and will be giving half of it to a neighbour so it does need to be edible!!

Should be fine. If you don't like the bechamel, you could use ricotta instead. That's very nice indeed...

It'd be more like a pasta bake I suppose....can't see anything too wrong in that!

Or like Aubergine Parmigiana ....that's just layers of aubergine and a meatless bolognese sauce and millions of cheeeeeeese!

Absolutely fine. I can't eat white sauce so I just put cheese on mine. You need to mix a little water or milk into the grated cheese on top or it dries out a bit though.

It will be a lovely cheesy pasta bake instead!

I made a lasagne just yesterday. I make it with ricotta/mozzarella instead of a cheese sauce.

For my standard sized lasagne dish (3 noodles wide x two full layers), I used 500g of ricotta and 2 balls of mozzarella in the cheese layers.

A vegan friend made an amazing lasagne with hummus instead of the white sauce - sounds grim but it was fantastic.

claireracing that sounds amazing. I am shamelessly stealing it!

my mum uses condensed mushroom soup, made up to double

We always make it with a cheddar cheese sauce instead of bechamel so you could give that a go?

I have a friend who uses cottage cheese (yup really) and it is super delicious!

My mum uses cream cheese with an egg beatne in to it instead of cheese sause, it's yummy

a friend of mine just chucks a carton of cream over the top and it's lovely. You can also make a white sauce with cornflour instead (make it the same way as you would make custard but with cornflour instead of custard powder and no sugar, of course!) - it's a bit lighter than a bechamel and lower fat

Use cheese sauce not white sauce.

White sauce is for wimps who can't handle the cheesiness.

we use lo fat creme fraiche (& loads of CHEESE which renders low fat pointless)

It'll taste like spaghetti bolognese :o

I love lasagne with cheese sauce. Adore it!

Whate everyone's bestest (veggie/posh) lasagne recipes? Not a big soya user but am open to persuasion.

Claire - did you just pop on a layer of ricotta and grated mozzarella? Can you use low fat mozzarella balls (they can be a bit watery sometimes).

I make mine with cheese sauce just on the top not in the layers

I used seasoned Creme Fraiche and grated cheese as the white layer

For veggie lasagna I just make up a sauce with passatta, garlic and loads of veggies cook for a bit then layer up in dish, cheese sauce on top cook in oven
