Lots of american recipes use ricotta or a mix of cottage/cream cheese and eggs. I personally find these heavier and stodgy but you may prefer if you don't like white sauce.

Are you scratch mkaing your sauce? If not this could be the problem - it really is much nicer hm.People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

I make a light cheese sauce, basic white sauce and then add grated cheese a bit at a time till it tastes right.Slimming World at target0

A friend once made lasagne for us with a mushroom sauce - I believe it was just mushrooms chopped small and cooked with seasonings, then added cream to make a sauce. It was yum!Trust me - I'm NOT a doctor!0

If making your own white sauce try replacing half of the milk you would use with the same volume of chicken stock. This makes a fantastic tasting sauce and with less calories as an added bonus. We use this sauce for carbonara and cauliflower cheese as well.I am playing all of the right notes just not necessarily in the right order
