MARIO BATALI’S LASAGNE ALLA BOLOGNESE AL FORNO PART 3- MAKING THE BESCIAMELLA

All you need is 3 cups of whole milk, 5 tablespoons of butter, 1/4 cup of all purpose flour, 1-2 teaspoons of salt, nutmeg for grating.
Heat a saucepan and melt the butter.  Add the flour and whisk until golden brown.  Meanwhile, heat the milk in another pan until it is gently boiling.
Add the milk one cup at a time and whisk until fully incorporated.  Let the sauce sit on low heat for about 7 minutes until thick enough to coat a spoon.  Add the nutmeg and salt.
Place in a bowl and place plastic wrap directly on top of the sauce so that  a skin will not form.  Set aside until ready to assemble the lasagne.
