Bechamel Sauce

Hello everyone!

So if we were to remember just one kind of sauce in the French gastronomy, we would probably all agree to remember the one and only bechamel sauce! Smooth, creamy, easy to cook, of course the bechamel sauce had to be on the blog!!

I feel I had to fill the blank here. Hence, I’m presenting the recipe of this basic French sauce!! And yes, I wrote “hence” … 😉

You will get the recipe, as I do as many times as I can, with or without Thermomix.

And regarding the several uses of the bechamel sauce, here are a few:

– meat lasagna

– fish or vegetable lasagna

– quenelles

– vegetable gratin

– cannellonis

– chicory with ham

Let’s have a look… The recipe, Chef!
