Meat Lasagna

During my school days, I had once stumbled upon this cuisine, in a restaurant, and its taste lingered in my head. Years later after I got married, with the recipes out there on the internet, I decided to try making it at home. I have to admit, it felt like a brain drain at first, the lasagna sheets and the cheese were not only easily available here in India, it was expensive too. But with years of experimenting, I found out that you can make this dish with other alternatives and it tastes just the same and great too 😄👍 INGREDIENTS: Lasagne sheets/pasta For White sauce (béchamel sauce) Butter- 1 tbsp. Flour - 1 tbsp.
