Master Cooking Sauces

A béchamel sauce, or white sauce, is one of the foundations of creative cooking. It's traditionally made by stirring milk or cream into a butter-flour mixture called a roux. It can be used alone as a topping for vegetables, or as the creamy component in soups, casseroles, and pasta dishes. Here, a light white sauce is used as the creamy base for lasagna.
