a long slow cooking of bechamel sauce makes a rich velvety one that would not be able to have if only cooked for a shorter time...needs a careful and patient cook.

Bechamel is a simple and basic sauce originating in Italy, but adopted in French cuisine, and is now known as one of the "mother" sauces. It is the base for a wide variety of sauces and soups in the culinary world.The quantity of this recipe can easily be used for two or three different dishes. Using white pepper just helps keep it a purely white sauce. You can absolutely use black pepper, which is what I do quite often.Check out my recipe, Cauliflower Bechamel, for a chance to test out using this sauce.

Delicious plate 🍝#madethis

I wanted to recreate the delicious spinach au gratin that I had in Cancún. The original dish used lots of butter, cream and cheese, but here, I used them modestly.* Squeeze out excess water from the spinach to prevent it from getting watery.* After adding the flour, keep on stirring with the spatula until it thickens.* If you don't mind the calories, switch the parmesan to easy melting cheese for an even richer result.* You can use soy milk instead of milk.
