Bechamel Sauce

Cultural Context

Béchamel sauce is one of the five mother sauces in classical French cuisine, serving as a base for many dishes such as lasagna and macaroni and cheese. Its creamy texture and mild flavor make it versatile for both savory and sweet applications. Traditionally, it is used in French cooking but has been adopted in various cuisines worldwide, often as a foundational sauce in pasta dishes and casseroles.
