Bechamel sauce is nothing but a roux which is made with butter and flour which is then mixed with milk to thicken it and make it creamy. Add this to pasta and give a quick blitz in oven, you are good to go..So yum..Hope you will give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you. You will be needing this for my next recipe veggie pasta bake.
How to Make Bechamel Sauce
- Heat butter in a pan, add in flour and mix for a min till the raw flour taste goes away.
- Slowly add in milk and keep whisking. Bring it to a boil. The sauce will thicken.

- Pour this in a container. Cover it with plastic wrap, make sure the top of the sauce touches the plastic wrap this prevents a skin from forming.
