This sauce is key in the Booth-MacLeod household classic, lasagna. The béchamel sauce is my contribution to the dish, but we use this classic quite a bit especially with cauliflower.

I love the addition of the nutmeg, while Martin loves the extra cheese.

This one half of our lasagna recipe, one day Martin will add it (we've only been waiting for a few years!)
