Grand'Italia Béchamel lasagna sauce

An Italian casserole naturally calls for a classic béchamel sauce. The Grand'Italia Besciamella oven sauce for lasagne (and other baked dishes) is ready to use and can be added directly to your favourite lasagne or oven pasta. Handy for when you have less time. The cream and whole milk give a delicious creamy flavour and elevate your pasta casserole to a higher level!

Did you know that béchamel or besciamella is centuries old and was first made in Tuscany during the Renaissance? The creamy white sauce was used as a base to 'bind' dishes, which was possible due to the thicker full-bodied texture. Nowadays, we often use besciamella in our lasagne, cannelloni, or to gratinate vegetables, for example. Try this recipe for Lasagna alla Bolognese and give it a go.
