White Sauce Base Recipes

This white sauce, also known as Béchamel sauce, is one of France's four "mother sauces," and it's a perfect complement to many dishes. Pair it with vegetables, turn it into a creamy casserole or ladle it over seafood or sliced chicken.

I learned to make white sauce in Home Ec too many years ago to count. It can be used as a base for lots of dishes. I use it for macaroni and cheese for my granddaughter.

A white sauce base that can flavor to taste. As you've seen from my other recipes I like things simple, easy, and use common ingredients for a great taste. Sometimes I'll add garlic powder, cream cheese and/or Parmesan cheese to make an alfredo sauce. Unfortunately I don't have the exact measurements of the add-ins because I usually make the sauce to taste for the meal. I would recommend stirring in your extra ingredients very small amounts and let the sauce steep. The milk will hide the flavors of your extra ingredients at first and will take time to work through the mixture. For best results always use real butter or a butter blend that is at least half butter.

My husband lived in Italy for 3 years, so he's really picky about his Italian cuisine! I needed a great meal that was super-quick one night for his dinner; I had spicy battered shrimp on hand that I wanted to use and a couple choices of dried pasta. This sauce sounded perfect to tie it all together! Served over tortiglioni pasta with salad and toasted Italian bread. Just like I spent all day on dinner. It is really hard to mess-up this kind of white sauce. In my opinion, it was very much like an Alfredo sauce! Of course there is very little difference in the two sauces.
