Easiest and nicest white (bechamel) sauce in the Thermomix
Every home cook needs a good bechamel sauce in their repertoire and should master the art (which is really not that difficult with a Thermomix) of creating a good, smooth white sauce.
This sauce is so versatile, it’s used in croque monsieur, lasagna, courgette gratins and is the backbone of macaroni & cheese and other pasta bakes. It is used for souffles, forms the basis for so many other sauces: cheese sauce, parsley sauce for fish and is the secret behind creamy casseroles.
Give it a go – you won’t regret it.

Great recipe!
This sauce worked beautifully well with olive oil, gf self-raising flour and Bonsoy for a vegan version. I added a little more soy milk to thin it down for lasagna top
Thanks
Great sauce. Did cheese version was perfect. Added a little extra milk to make it slightly less thick for a pasta bake sauce.
