Basic Bechamel pasta

Nov 26, 2007 22:25

Sauce:

* 5 tablespoons butter
* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 quart milk
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

Cook your preferred type of pasta according to package directions.

For the sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook until golden. Slowly add the milk and salt, stirring occasionally. Cook until sauce is thickened. Stir in nutmeg before serving.

I ♥ this! It's simple and tasty, and the basis for lots of tweaking, according to your tastes!
