Steps:
- In a stove-top pot melt butter.
- Add flour and whisk well until a thick creamy paste forms. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Slowly pour in about ⅓ cup of milk. Continue whisking energetically breaking all the lumps. Make sure to scrape well the bottom and sides of the pot.
- Once you have reached a smooth consistency add a little more milk. Continue adding milk in small portions until you have used up all the milk.
- Increase the heat a little and continue whisking and cooking the sauce.
- Once it starts to thicken, cook it for another 20-30 seconds and turn off the heat.
- Continue to whisk. You'll notice Bechamel Sauce will continue to thicken even with the heat off.
- Once it reached desired consistency, season it with nutmeg and salt to taste or other seasonings (see suggestions above the recipe).
- Give another good stir.
- If you're not planning to use the sauce immediately see my tips above how to store it to prevent a skin from forming.
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.

Steps:
- Melt the 1/2 cup butter in a pan over medium heat. Stir in the flour with a wooden spoon. Cook's Note: This is an important moment, as you have to slowly toast the flour without burning it. This will help you lose the flowery taste.
- Warm up the milk and gradually ladle into the pot with the butter-flour mixture, whisking constantly while bringing the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer for about 15 minutes. Season the sauce with freshly grated nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

Steps:
- To make the meat ragu: Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-low heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute until soft and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Add the ground beef, sausage, salt, basil, Italian seasoning, oregano and pepper to taste and increase the heat to high. Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned all over. Add the tomatoes. Pour some of the wine into the empty tomato boxes to rinse out the last bits of tomatoes and add to the pot, along with the remaining wine. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, partially covered, until the sauce thickens and the flavors come together, about 1 hour. Add a healthy amount of black pepper.
- To make the besciamella: Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat until just simmering, then turn off the heat. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour to the butter and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and then loosens again, about 2 minutes. Add the hot milk, whisking constantly. Bring to a boil. Add the nutmeg and salt and pepper to taste. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, whisking almost constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and use immediately.
- To make the lasagna: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Spread an even layer of the meat ragu over the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Arrange 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce lengthwise across the short side of the pan. Avoid overlapping or allowing them to touch the sides of the pan because they will expand as they cook. Press down slightly to let the sauce spread around them. Cover with one-quarter of the besciamella and sprinkle with one-third of the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Add another layer of ragu. Add 3 more noodles, arranging them in the opposite direction from the first layer and breaking 1 of the noodles in half if necessary to fit. Add one-quarter of the besciamella and half of the mozzarella. Make a third layer of ragu, noodles (alternating directions again), besciamella and one-third of the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Add another layer of ragu, then the remaining mozzarella, noodles (alternating the noodles again), besciamella and ragu.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake until heated through, about 35 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the top is brown and bubbling, about 20 minutes more. During the last 10 minutes of baking, scatter the remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano all over. Let the lasagna stand for 10 minutes before serving.

BASIC WHITE SAUCE - SALSA DI BESCIAMELLA
Besciamella, white sauce, is more frequently associated with northern Italian cooking, and is used in oven-baked pasta dishes like lasagne, or with vegetables or fish. It can be made ahead and refrigerated for 3-4 days but will thicken as it sits. When you reheat it, thin the sauce, with a little milk. This basic recipe does not have the addition of herbs or spices. Those ingredients should be added after the sauce is cooked, and should be tailored to the dish being prepared. Recipe by Maryanne Esposito of Ciao Italia ---------- For those of you that don't know Maryanne Esposito, let me introduce you to a marvelous cook, who cooks only "Authentic" Italian food, and it is incredible! I had the priviledge of meeting Maryanne at a woman's luncheon many years ago, and she has her own cooking show on Channel 11 in NH. She and her husband, who is a local doctor, live in the next town from where I used to live and work.

Steps:
- Melt the butter in a heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and cook for 1½-2 minutes, stirring con- stantly with a wooden spoon to prevent it from taking on any color whatsoever. Gradually add the hot milk in a slow, steady stream, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps. Increase the heat to medium and cook the sauce, stirring con- stantly with a wooden spoon, until it has the consistency of very thick cream, 10-15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Stir in the cheese, if using, and season with nutmeg and salt to taste. Strain the sauce through a sieve if it is lumpy. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap directly on the surface of the besciamella to keep it warm until ready to use and to prevent a skin from forming.
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.

STEP-BY-STEP: HOW TO MAKE BESCIAMELLA (WHITE SAUCE)
From thespruceeats.com
Estimated Reading Time 3 mins
- What is 'besciamella'? Besciamella is the Italian version of béchamel, one of the five fundamental French "mother sauces." Whether it originated in Italy or in France has been debated (and still not determined), but it first appeared sometime during the reign of Louis XIV.
- Melt the butter. We're going to make 2 cups of besciamella. Scale up or down depending on your recipe's requirements, though it would be difficult to successfully make less than 1 cup.
- Whisk in flour. With a wire whisk, whisk 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour into the melted butter. You now have a roux, an essential element in many classic dishes and the basis of several of the "mother sauces."
- Cook the roux. Continue cooking the roux over low heat, whisking continuously, until it is lightly golden brown (about 3 to 5 minutes). Be careful not to scorch it or brown it too much, but just enough to bring out a warm, nutty color and aroma.
- Add the milk. Slowly pour in 2 cups of milk, whisking vigorously and continuously. The roux will tend to seize and clump up when the liquid is added (use room temperature or slightly heated milk, not fridge-cold milk, to avoid this), so it's important to keep whisking energetically until the roux has dissolved in the milk and it forms an even, homogeneous mixture.
- Season. Season with a pinch of freshly ground nutmeg, a pinch of white pepper (if desired), and fine sea salt, to taste. Continue to 7 of 7 below.
- Raise heat & whisk until thickened. Raise the heat to medium and continue whisking the mixture until it starts to thicken (about 5 to 7 minutes). Don't let a skin form on top of the sauce or on the bottom of the pot.
