Parmesan Bechamel Sauce image

I have not tried this yet, however it took me forever to figure out the recipe for this so I am saving it. I plan on using this for a vegetable lasagna so reserve the cooked vegetables.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups milk
6 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup light cream
2/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1 small onion
1 small carrot
1 celery rib
6 black peppercorns
1 pinch nutmeg

Steps:

  • Peel and finely chop the vegetables. Add the vegetables, spices and milk to a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, cover and remove from heat. Allow flavors to infuse for 30 minutes.
  • Over low heat, melt the butter in a saucepan, remove from heat and stir in flour. Return to heat and cook roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Reheat flavored milk to almost boiling and strain hot milk into bowl with a spout (like a 2 cup glass measuring cup) pressing against vegetables to extract their juices. (Reserve vegetables for pasta).

  • Stir in parmesan cheese until melted and simmer gently for 3-4 minutes.
