Today I am going to teach you how to prepare a bechamel sauce, this basic sauce was one of the first recipes I learned when I did the intermediate level cooking course.
I remember that it was in the second practical lesson when we were taught to make this sauce and we cooked some spinach, then we covered the spinach with the bechamel and so we learned to prepare creamy spinach.
It is a very versatile sauce that can be used for many things: To mix it with pasta, gratin vegetables, make salty cakes, prepare croquettes...
