Additional Tips
Use béchamel sauce. Béchamel is a white sauce where the milk has been flavored by steeping vegetables -carrot slices, bay leaf- in very hot milk for about 30 minutes before actually making the sauce.
If you have the white sauce ready, this recipe is very easy. It takes a moderate amount of time if you include preparing your own white sauce.
