What is Bechamel Sauce?
Bechamel sauce is a white sauce that is used in classic French and Italian cooking. Flour and butter is cooked into a roux, and then milk is whisked in slowly to create a silky-smooth sauce with a thick texture, seasoned slightly with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. It can be used as simple pasta sauce, or in lasagna or macaroni and cheese.
