Tried Bechamel Lasagna After Years of Ricotta—Not Impressed 😅

After I stumbled across a bunch of threads hyping up bechamel as the superior choice over ricotta. I grew up with ricotta in every lasagna, but the internet convinced me to give bechamel another shot. Ordered a bechamel lasagna at a well-rated Italian spot, expecting a revelation. Instead, it just felt like the whole thing turned into a big pan of soft-on-soft. Ricotta gives a little structure, a bit of texture—something to break up all the noodles and sauce. Bechamel just made it feel heavier, and honestly, the mouthfeel reminded me of canned pasta. Not what I’m after. If you like bechamel, cool, but I’m sticking with ricotta. #lasagna #ricottacheese #bechameldebate #Food #Cooking
