BéCHAMEL SAUCE (BESCIAMELLA) | HOW TO MAKE ITALIAN WHITE SAUCE
Béchamel sauce (Besciamella) is a smooth, white sauce made with just 3 ingredients: flour, milk, and butter. It's also known as White Sauce or Mother Sauce because many sauces are made with Béchamel as a base, such as Mornay Sauce, which is a somewhat richer version. The preparation of Bechamel Sauce consists in adding milk to a white roux, a cooked mixture made with equal quantities of butter and flour. Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of nutmeg then cook for about 15 minutes so that the sauce thickens.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Now add the flour. Mix quickly with a whisk. Stir until the mixture is smooth and without lumps.
- heat the milk, without bringing to a boil. Pour the milk slowly over the roux, while stirring vigorously with a whisk to prevent the formation of lumps. When the milk is completely poured over the roux sauce, put the saucepan back on low heat. Keep mixing constantly, until you have a fairly thick consistency (about 10/15 minutes). The sauce is ready when it sticks to the back of a wooden spoon.
- Add a pinch of fine salt and grated nutmeg to taste. For an even richer flavor, add a little Parmigiano reggiano cheese (optional). Italian béchamel sauce is ready to use.

BECHAMEL SAUCE
From Giada De Laurentiis Everyday Italian. She says - This sauce is named after the Marquis de Bechamel. In Italian, it's called balsamella or besciamella. The original and full French version also involves steeping some onion and a bay leaf in milk for 30 minutes to infuse the sauce with more flavor but here's an everyday approach. My simplified version is a snap to make and is perfect with baked rigatoni with bechamel sauce. You could also use it the way you would hollandaise sauce.
