Béchamel sauce is a sauce traditionally made from a white roux and milk. But to substitute the milk, I used almond milk which works great for this, and I swapped the butter from the roux for olive oil. Also called a White Sauce, this is the sauce you can use in lasagnas and other dishes that require a white sauce.
Béchamel sauce is one of the “mother sauces” of French cuisine.
