Béchamel is one of the most classic sauces in Italian cuisine. It is a sauce made with butter, flour, and milk, flavored with nutmeg or pepper. Its creamy texture and delicate flavor make it perfect for accompanying many dishes, from side dishes to lasagna. Béchamel can easily be prepared at home and stored in the refrigerator for several days.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over moderate heat; add the flour, stirring with a whisk
Then pour in the cold milk all at once, continuing to stir until it starts to boil
Add salt, reduce the heat and cook for at least twenty minutes, covered and stirring from time to time: the béchamel must absolutely not taste of flour
Remove from the heat, adjust the salt if necessary and, if desired, season with a pinch of nutmeg or pepper
If the béchamel has turned out too thick, add a little milk
If too runny, place it over the heat adding a butter and flour ball
This exquisite sauce, also defined as a mother sauce because of the many variations it has given rise to, is essential for anyone who wants to devote themselves to cooking
For a richer béchamel, replace half the milk with the same amount of fresh cream; for a lighter béchamel, use half milk and half water
Gratin, soufflés, stuffed preparations
Store the béchamel in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
