Then you're not cooking it right. A well made lasagna is next level Italian food-----------and I mean that in a good way.
Exactly. bechamel, make your own pasta, not ground beef. Beef, veal and pork. The Italian trinity of celery, carrots and onions. Garlic. Wine. Good olive oil. Just a blanched tomato or two. Simmer it for 4-5 hours. Heaven on earth.
And make your own pasta. Fresh pasta is amazing.

OP I used to be with you. I hated lasagna growing up. But it turns out, my mom can't really cook for shite and ricotta can be very overpowering and with a grainy texture.
Apprehensively tried my now-wife's mom's bechamel lasagna a few years ago and was floored by how much I loved it.

Do fresh pasta sheets make lasagna significantly better?

Yes. They do.
Pasta is very easy to make but so many people are intimidated by it.

I have the pasta roller attachment for the kitchen aid. I've made it before, it's a little bit of a chore and when making sauce from scratch for lasagna I always decide to just use the sheets from the store.
I'll try it

a buddy of mine swears by the lasagna at Rotolos. Hard to believe but the pics he sent me looked legit

Emeril’s recipe on his website or the Food Network website is excellent.

Get a Marcato Atlas 150. Game changer. I got one with a motor. You can get attachments to make a ton of different pasta types.

The right sauce, hand made noodles, nice cheeses, an incredible dish that rewards the chef for his efforts. I had an aunt the lived on a parage route, on Mardi Gras Day she made several pans to feed the masses. I never caught a bead, the lasagna, garlic bread and wop salad was heaven.

You can also make crepes with egg and flour and use them.

I’ve seen recipes for seafood lasagnas that I want to reproduce and try out.
I had a béchamel based seafood lasagna a couple of months ago in a little restaurant off the street in Burano, that was absolutely amazing. I would kill for that recipe. Best I've ever had.

You clearly haven't tried lasagna at Avo or Gianna

When we get the frozen lasagna, there is a plethora of various cheeses we add on top towards the end and let it get golden brown and a little bit burnt edges.
It’s 1000% better than if nothing added and usually comes out better than lasagna I’ve had at casual restaurants.
I’ve probably never ordered lasagna at a nicer Italian restaurant so nothing to compare there.

There's just something about the texture
I agree. Ive had lasagna that taste great but something about chewing on layered sheets of pasta just doesnt work for me. No clue why as I love ravioli.

I love my good ol redneck lasagna, what others refer to as good lasagna I can take it or leave it. But mine that is full of cheese, gooey and spreads out just a bit when it hits the plate...I love that stuff. And yes, I cut the ricotta with a little cottage cheese to make it officially off putting to lasagna snobs.
