Béchamel is the ultimate upgrade to your lasagna😌 #recipe #quickrecipe #easyrecipe #cooking #food

Today I’m sharing my mom’s béchamel recipe, which I don’t claim to be authentic, but I do claim to be delicious! 😌

My mom’s recipe (makes a 9” x 13” lasagna):
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup flour
4 cups milk
1 tsp onion powder.
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp allspice or garam masala
1 tsp cardamom powder
1 tsp salt

In a medium size saucepan on low-medium heat, continuously whisk the butter, olive oil and flour together for 3-5 minutes, without letting them brown. This mixture is referred to as a white roux.

Add the milk, and continuously whisk on medium-high heat until the mixture thickens, which may take 10-15 minutes.

Now add all the spices and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Your creamy béchamel is now ready to add to all your favourite recipes to make them that much better!

We always use bechamel in lasagna in DR but only butter, flour, milk, salt and ground nutmeg (in that order)

Wait other countries don't use bechamel as a staple ingredient? 😮

In the South the spices are salt/pepper only and that's called white gravy. We eat it on biscuits, mashed potatoes, and country fried steak. It's delicious but white gravy is not Alfredo sauce. I've seen people try to pass it off as homemade Alfredo.

We always use it in Egypt it makes the food so much better 😍

I'm Italian and that's not how you make beshamel. You only need butter, flour, milk, salt and nutmeg. Also the last layer shouldn't be beshamel but tomato sauce and loads of parmesan

How do you make lasagne without mozzarella, ricotta and parmesan cheese! No thanks! I'll keep making it the way my ancestors did! 😊
