You know the white sauce you get for lasagna, how do you make it?

[Donbean]

It occurred to me that there isnt a great deal to it, but looking at the jars they put all kinds of crud into it.
Got any recipes for it?

its just a basic white sauce with some cheese in it - a cheese sauce in fact.

Other other way i know of making it is with a packet, milk and cheese.

It's just flour, butter (equal measures) and then add milk and stir over a low heat till you get the required consistency - I add cheese to it too as our kids love cheese

Isn't it just white sauce: ie knob of butter, couple tbpsps flour, cook together, add milk keep stirring on low heat until thickens adding nmore milk as you go. Stir in a load of grated cheese if you want cheese sauce, salt pepper?

a packet

you do realise that you only need flour, butter, milk and cheese dont you?

so you are paying for a packet when you could be using a heaped tablespoon of butter/heaped tbsp of flour

tsk

kids today

The fab easy recipe I use is just a big tub of macarpone heated up gently - makes a yummy sauce.

Hmm, identi-posts

Tsk Tsk

Classically it doesn't have cheese in it, but I like it cheesy too. I like the idea of marscapone though.

flour, butter and milk. Piece of p*ss.

or even easier, mix cornflour and with a little water, boil milk then add cornflour paste, stirring all the time until it thickens. I like to add a mix of cheddar and parmesan (cream cheese is also nice)

I always make a basic cheese sauce. I find the jar ones can be too salty even for my taste.

actually think lasagne usually better without white sauce, controversial

Oooohh Hulababy, marscapone, sounds like a great idea, must try it.

How can you have Lasagne without white sauce? {confused}

Delia actually makes it sound harder than it is

cheese sauce or bechamel sauce

Well vegetable lasagne with just vegetables in tomato sauce and lots of cheese on top eg - just find all that white sauce too stodgy...

Delia's way....You can always sieve the lumps out afterwards

mum2girls. It's so easy - a doodle. I just never thought to cheat that way before. Really is just gently heating up for a few minutes. Goes really smooth and a thick runny sauce. Use in a lasagne (we do aubergine) with parmesan and the two together go fab!

Agree with GhostofNatt. My mum never used a white sauce in lasagne - and she's Italian!
