Becamel Sauce

 

Two tablespoons butter (low-fat if you want, I use a combination)

Two tablespoons flour (wholewheat or white-wheat flour)

Two cups skim milk (I use 1%)

Parmesan cheese

Salt, pepper

 

Melt butter in a saucepan. Once melted, whisk in flour (if too thick and clumpy, you can add more butter). Let this mixture bubble for 30 sec. to a minute (making sure it doesn’t burn). Whisk in milk slowly. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil and let boil for one minute (while still stirring). Turn heat to low and let simmer for a few minutes. Add cheese (I usually add ¼ cup), salt and pepper.
