Notes
Use béchamel sauce sauce. Béchamel sauce is a white sauce where the milk has been flavored by steeping vegetables (carrot slices, bay leaf) in very hot milk for about 30 minutes before actually making the sauce.
If you have the white sauce ready, this recipe is very easy. It takes a moderate amount of time if you include preparing your own white sauce.
