Light Bechamel


By Cucina di Barbara (Visit website)





The bechamel is a creamy, white sauce which smells of nutmeg.

This is my "light" version, without using butter, but the healthier olive oil.

Nobody will note the difference except my husband's cholesterol index :)







Ingredients for 4

4 table spoons of olive oil
5 table spoons of plain flour
1 pint of milk
salt
grated nutmeg


Heat the olive oil in a saucepan, at medium heat. When it's hot add the plain flour and stir until you'll get a brown and smooth mixture.





Now you can add the milk at room temperature or slightly warm, cook for 15 minuts, continuosly stirring until it becomes creamy.

Now, add salt and grated nutmeg.





It's ready to use with your preferred dish!

You can also try it with cannelloni of ricotta cheese and spinach



Besciamella 





La besciamella è quella salsina bianca, profumata di noce moscata, che dopo averla usata, resterà appicicata ai bordi della pentola :)

Ed esattamente lì che regala il meglio di se, ancora calda, mangiata sulle dita...

La mia versione non prevede l'utilizzo di burro, che ho sostituito con olio di oliva.

Nessuno si accorgerà della differenza, tranne l'indice di colesterolo di mio marito.



Ingredienti

4 cucchiai di olio di oliva
5 cucchiai di farina
1\2 litro di latte
sale
noce moscata
In una pentola riscaldate l'olio di oliva a fuoco medio, quando è caldo aggiungete la farina e fate sciogliere insieme, fino a che non otterrete una crema marroncina.

A questo punto aggiungete il latte a temperatura ambiente o appena caldo, girando continuamente. Cuocete per un 10\15 minuti fino a che non diventerà un composto denso.

Salate e grattateci sopra un po' di noce moscata.

Adesso è pronta per essere utilizzata nel vostro piatto preferito!

Idea: cannelloni di ricotta
