Besciamella (white sauce) is the base to many dishes. You will need it to make lasagne, souffles and sformati. It is easy to make and very quick!This version is made with olive oil rather than butter. You can also try to use soya or almond milk to create a fully dairy free white sauce!
50g white flour
Approximately 2 spoons of Olive Oil
500ml milk
Salt
¼ tsp nutmeg, grated
To make the béchamel sauce, put the flour in a cup and add the oil, a little at a time, until you will have obtained a fairly runny paste. Pour the paste in a pan and gradually add the milk, stirring to incorporate each addition before adding the next: this should avoid lumps Add a pinch of salt and then place over a medium heat and bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Lower the heat, add the nutmeg and stir for 5 minutes then set aside to cool, stirring occasionally.
TIP: should you have lumps in themixture, whiz it briefly before cooking it!
