Meat Lasagna with Red & White Sauce.

I've always been irritated with the lasagna recipes I find online. They use 10,000 kinds of cheese that I either don't like or can't buy here in Pakistan. And even if they were available, why would I spend thousands of rupees on something that won't even last one night? Okay, I know you foodies are probably having a heart attack while reading this but come on. You HAVE to be practical when you're cooking at home. So, I decided to try the local stuff.

Seriously, if you're a meat lover like me who likes her pasta drowning in sauce, HAVE THIS. It's... just try it. I promise you, you'll love it.
