Pizzas to pastas, Italian food is all about a variety of sauces & cheese. Just a bowl of chicken and veggies dipped in a creamy rich white sauce is so Yumm….. Heavenly.

White sauce also known as Bechamel sauce, is one among the mother sauces of French cuisine and is used as the base in many pasta dishes. It can be prepared at home easily, and nothing beats a fresh homemade sauce. Pasta combined with chicken, broccoli, and mushroom in a white sauce makes the perfect Italian dish at home.
