Bechamel Sauce
Don’t be scared to make your bechamel sauce from scratch – it’s easy! This popular cream sauce is perfect to layer in lasagna, stir through a creamy pasta, top vegetables, potato bake or seafood (this is my go-to for oysters or lobster mornay). My secret added ingredient is a chicken stock cube to give it an extra punch of flavour!
