    White Sauce Recipe

    I love bechamel sauces, there are creamy and can be used in many many recipes. I was wondering why i didn't share the recipe of this till now, because this is one of the five mother sauces of the culinary world.

    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.
    • When the sauce coats the back of the spoon then it is done, it will thicken as it cools.
    • Add in nutmeg, salt and pepper. Whisk well.
    • 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.
    • Store in fridge and use as needed.
    • Keeps well for 3 to 4 days.
