Tasty Cheese Sauce
From ‘And the Love is Free’ Print Book page 77
Sorry. Video and photo are not available for this recipe.
This cheese sauce is a bit of a linchpin for a few of my family’s favourites, namely my Mum’s lasagna and these tartlets. I also loved when Mum served boiled cauliflower slathered generously with this sauce. It always amazed me just how tasty it could make such a boring vegetable.
It’s funny but I could never get my cheese sauce to taste the same as Mum’s. It wasn’t until I was testing this recipe and actually used old school cheese singles that it came close to my childhood memory. An example of why sometimes it is better to actually follow the recipe.
