Béchamel Sauce (White Sauce) form the basis of French cuisine. The creamy silkiness of the dish comes from the roux and the key to a good roux is an equal amount of butter and flour and making sure you mix it really well. A bit of elbow work is needed when the milk goes in. Constantly stirring ensures a smooth and creamy sauce. A pinch of grated nutmeg gives it a subtle flavor and the mozzarella and parmesan is all you need to finish this dish @sarchakra
