Does anyone else hate lasagna?

Make it your way, OP. I agree that restaurant lasagna (and maybe your friends') is pretty gross.

You can experiment and make a lighter version, leave out sauce or do whatever you want!

I don't like most desserts in this country because they're so incredibly sweet, probably since manufacturers put corn syrup in everything, American tastebuds became habituated to sugar.
So I just make my own with half the sugar.

The heavy handed red sauce, the ricotta and mozarella and the thick slimy pasta. Altogether, awful. My mother in law was italian and a great cook and she never once made lasagna.

I love lasagna the way my mom makes it. She makes her own roux, her own sauce (not from jar), and she doesn't use cheese and it tastes good with/without meat. When I was younger I thought all lasagna was made like my mom's lasagna, until I ordered it at a restaurant and it was yuck! I only like my mom's recipe, otherwise it's just a big glop of mess.

I hate lasagna. I don't like ricotta or tomato sauce.

No, I love lasagna. What I like are the stacked layers, the just right amount of sauce , and the various cheese. Its so creamy and tasty.

p.s. I don't really like the meat, just cheese or the vegetable lasagna WF makes (rarely).

I hate Lasagna, pasta and rice... Can't stand the texture.

Yes! Ricotta is gross.

I haven't read the whole thread but DCUM loves lasagna. It's always being recommended for potlucks, for dinner parties, for vegetarians.
I think it's fine the first night, but leftover lasagna is gross.

Its ok, I don't love the ricotta. I make it with full-fat cottage cheese and prefer that.

I like Mexican Lasagna from the frozen food section. Yeah, I know, it doesn't make sense but it nice and spicy. I add a few dashes of Tobasco.

I used to have a recipe for a black bean lasagna that included cotija and some other Mexican cheeses. It was sort of a cross between lasagna and a stacked enchilada. Sounds weird but it was SO good. I lost the recipe years ago but keep thinking that I need to recreate it.

Recipe? This sounds awesome.
