In this video, you can see Gordan Ramsay piping a white substance into his lasagna.
Recently saw a post about substitute for ricotta or cottage in a lasagna. Several members agreed that bechamel is traditionally used.
So is that what Ramsay is doing here?

Gordon says "white sauce", which is a simpler term for bechamel-based sauces and is quite common when making lasagna.
Yet the stuff that gets stirred in the bowl looks somewhat "fluffier" than classic bechamel and when it's piped has a "raggedness" that plain bechamel doesn't have, but smoother that pure ricotta.
My conclusion: it's hard to say for certain, but to me it looks like a mixture of both.
