There's just something about the texture. I've never been a big fan.
It's the least appealing of the more popular Italian dishes.

I do agree.
However, I’ve only had the typical ground meat and tomato sauce lasagnas. I’ve seen recipes for seafood lasagnas that I want to reproduce and try out.

I've been on an italian kick lately, but my reasoning is that sometimes I want a meal that tastes good and doesn't cost an arm and leg and is incredibly easy to make. I think the backbone of italian cuisines is it's simplicity. Limited, fresh ingredients that pair well together. Lasagna just seems a little too fussy for me. I'm sure it's easy to make, but not as easy as throwing tomatos and basil and garlic in a pan and tossing it with al dente pasta.
I made a Spaghetti Puttanesca last night. Had tomatoes, chilis, and basil in the garden. Had olives, capers, evoo, spaghetti, and garlic at home. So I spent 6 bucks on a jar of anchovies and had everything I needed. Turned out great and took about 20 minutes

béchamel lasagna fricks
ricotta lasagna is a pass
I am not a huge ricotta guy and 99/100 times it’s not seasoned well
But go to Avo in New Orleans and their lasagna is next level

Then you're not cooking it right. A well made lasagna is next level Italian food-----------and I mean that in a good way.

Lasagna is better than the ground beef "spaghetti" that is common.

The texture might be the best part with a crispy top, bits of meat mixed in and perfectly cooked soft noodles all in a single bite. God forbid you add a piece of perfectly cooked garlic french bread.
I love lasagna.

Chicken and Spinach Lasagna
¼ pound butter (1stick)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 garlic clove minced
3/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups chicken stock
1 ½ cup of milk (warmed)
1 pound of mozzarella cheese, shredded

2 tbsp Italian parsley, chopped
9 lasagne noodles, cooked al dente
2 (16 oz) packages of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cubed
Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter in a large saucepan. Add onion and sauté until tender. Add garlic and cook 3 minutes. Stir in flour and salt; cook until bubbly, stirring constantly.

The lasagna at Avo in New Orleans is my favorite dish anywhere. They use braised beef with béchamel.
