How to Make BECHAMEL SAUCE Like an Italian

Bechamel sauce originated in France, but is incredibly important in Italian cooking. We use this versatile sauce in a number of dishes, including lasagna, crepes, and traditional pasta. Although many people the world over use ricotta cheese for these recipes, it’s not as common throughout Italy. Instead, béchamel sauce is preferred because it doesn't overpower the other cheeses and flavours of the dish.

===============================================

INGREDIENTS:
25 g Butter 0.8oz
25 g Plain flour 1/8 cup
250 ml Cup milk
Nutmeg

METHOD:
1. Place a small saucepan on the stove at low heat.
2. Add butter and let it slowly, gently melt.
3. Begin adding flour to the melted butter and whisk really well until the flour disappears and the mixture becomes creamy.
4. Add 1/4 of the milk to the mixture. Stir very gently on medium-low heat.
5. As the cream becomes dry, add more milk and continue to stir.
6. When the sauce has achieved your desired thickness, you can turn off the heat and stop stirring.
7. Add a touch of nutmeg and salt to enhance the flavours and mix through. Then use on your favourite dish of choice!

HOW TO SERVE:
There’s almost no wrong way to serve creamy béchamel sauce, as it’s used in a wide range of dishes. For example, you can use it as the creamy component in your Italian lasagna, you can drizzle the sauce over savoury crepes, or even add it to other pasta sauces.

Do you always add bechamel sauce to your lasagna?

[Behavior_N_Canines]

My grandparents came over to Boston via Napoli in early 1900s
The family lasagna recipe handed down didn’t include Béchamel; in fact my mother and aunties always used ricotta. Venezia is northern Italy, and each of the regions specialize proudly in their cuisine.
Thank you for your channel! I love it!!

I’m making lasagne for its crepes today and I always use Vincenzo’s recipe - I have been for 2 years - since the video came out 😊

The secret to the best lasagna or pastitsio. Thank you!

[rolandlannier]

Nice classic bechamel ! Also guys, you need to be very careful with the temperature because the sauce will keep thickening a little while after you stopped cooking it and it can happen fast. You can also add grated cheese (like comté) to your bechamel and you'll have the base for a soufflé. This sauce also works great if you want to pour it over baked cauliflower.

This was my dad's base for his Mac & Cheese. I still use what I call a basic white sauce and starter for many dishes.

Merry Christmas Vincenzo! I know it's no longer a Bechamel, but I love adding Pecorino and Parmigiano cheese to my sauce. Inspired by you of course ;)

[gioknows]

Always enjoy your videos. Cheers, from Ottawa, Canada.

I find if you microwave the milk for about a minute before adding it, it makes the process so much easier.

[mrkeeny]

I’ve got a book on sauces for béchamel the milk is first infused with onions, black peppercorns and bay leaf, I like it when I can be bothered.
