My understanding is using ricotta breaks from tradition, but damn is it good.

"traditional" Italian lasagna apparently uses Bchamel sauce, not ricotta, but i don't really care. ricotta is the way my family has always done it. my mother is Italian, and the recipe we use was passed down by my great grandmother who lived in Italy, so as far as i'm concerned, it's authentic enough. and i really don't get why a French sauce is considered more traditionally Italian than an Italian cheese anyway.

Depends on what part of Italy. Northern Italy uses bechamel Southern Italy uses ricotta. Americans use cottage cheese.

I've never seen lasagna made with cottage cheese, thank God. That sounds disgusting.

As a child, I hated ricotta in my lasagna but now I like it as long as it isn't a thick layer.

i don't know what ricotta is

i almost never make lasagna because the crusty part that cooks on the edges of the dish is so lousy. also it takes god damn forever to make compared to other types of pasta.

I make it with bechamel.

I don't see why a ricotta sauce wouldn't be good.

The thought of putting cottage cheese in lasagne is making me feel queasy.

My Italian Nana always used ricotta so any other option is wrong.

was unaware about the difference between regions though. that's good to know. my great-grandmother was from Bari, so that tracks.

Some of us were making a shit ton of lasagna at a family reunion some years back and my aunt (her parents were Italian immigrants) was using bechamel instead of ricotta. Someone asked her why she wasn't using ricotta and she told us the differences. Me, it doesn't matter as long as it isn't cottage cheese.

Absolutely with Ricotta. As for the comment on cottage cheese being an American thing I have only known one person who used cottage cheese because something about the texture of Ricotta bothered her. I know some people do it but Id hardly classify it as the main American way. Ricotta is absolutely the most popular prepared way.

I personally prefer the bechamel approach but Im not going to turn down ricotta. Ive never known anybody to make it that way though.

Im shocked to see multiple people in this topic who dont even know what it is.
