Ingredients
60g salted butter
30g all-purpose gluten free flour
350g milk
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
40g parmesan, finely grated
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a small saucepan gently melt the butter, once melted add the flour. Stir and cook flour butter mixture for 1-2 minutes being careful not to burn the butter.
Add ½ the milk while stirring with a whisk. Once combined with no lumps add the remaining milk. Continue to cook and whisk until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Normally 8-10 minutes.
Remove from heat, add nutmeg, parmesan and salt and pepper to taste. Continue to mix until cheese is melted.
Use to top a lasagne or add to your favourite pasta — enjoy!
