Very creamy and versatile sauce, use as is for a classic lasagna. When sauce is done : Add 1 cup Parmesan cheese for a fantastic Alfredo sauce or add 1 to 2 cups cheddar cheese for a mouthwatering Mac & cheese. Read more I often double the recipe so I can make whichever sauce I need throughout the week. Pictured above is an chicken alfredo sauce made with this bechamel as a base. See less
