So, despite being lactose and tolerant, I use this stuff all of the time. <3 You can make plain bechamel for pasta, macaroni and cheese, to bring left over alfredo pasta back to life, fondue, or whatever else you can think of that's creamy, cheesy and delicious. In fact, I'm making some right now for nachos!
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp Butter
1/2 Tbsp Flour
1/2 Cup Milk
A pinch or so of nutmeg (optional)
Get yourself a small pot or pan please. Turn your heat on high-medium or low-high and melt the 2 Tbsp of butter. Once the butter's all melted turn the heat down to low-medium, or high-low and slowly add your flour and nutmeg, whisking or stirring with a spoon continuously. Once your flour and butter are completely combined add the milk and stir as you were doing before. I'm not adding nutmeg but you can if you want. Usually nutmeg is used in traditional bechamel, like when you're making pasta but since I'm making nacho's I don't really want it. Instead of nutmeg I used some pepper and rosemary. Also, if you want to make cheese sauce gradually add the cheese, ripping in pieces if sliced or by heaping pinch if shredded. Continue till it's stringy and delicious! Stringy will come after the delicious. ;) Enjoy!
