Bechamel Sauce image

This is the sauce I use in my lasagna recipe, along with bolognese sauce. It's from the local paper, but considered one of the classic mother sauces.

The sauce was easy to make, but it didn't have much flavor.

This sauce was a bit too thick for my taste, but it was still very good.
