How to make béchamel sauce! You can put this in anything

[efhernandez_]

Bechamel sauce is a French sauce that is commonly used in Greek dishes like pastitsio, moussaka and papoutsakia. It is a rich, creamy sauce that pairs really well with ground meat sauce and pasta. You can use it for traditional Greek dishes, French dishes or even make up your own dish. One time when I had extra béchamel, I made some pasta and used it as a sauce with some sprinkled cheese. It was sooo good!

That is a great tip! So true bechamel sauce is often used in a few popular Greek foods but can be used in many other foods as well.

You know how hard it is to get this right! When done right, though, it is magical. I actually make a béchamel to make Mac n Cheese. After I make the sauce, I melt in some cheddar cheese and then pour it over al dente pasta in a baking dish, sprinkle it with more cheese and some bread crumbs, and bake it long enough for the flavors to meld. If I feel bad that it wasn't really a "Greek" dish I sprinkle a little oregano on the top and some feta cheese. Haha.
