I switch to Italian white wine (Orvieto usually) half way through making the bechamel, which makes it sharper and less claggy. No cheese or seasoning and roux made with unsalted butter - the seasoning comes from the meat sauce. Similarly to OP I layer lasagne sheets, meat sauce (beef/pork 50-50 with sofritto and tomato puree, 3h cooking) and then drizzle with the bechamel, which I apply with a wooden spoon channeling a kind of Jackson Pollock vibe, so the sauce (mostly cooled down) has to have the right consistency for that artistic vision ;) . No cheese in the lasagne at all apart from on top - generous parmesan and maybe a bit of Somerset Cheddar (local variation!).
