Summary
This is an adaptation of a standard bechamel sauce I used to serve with steamed cauliflower and baby carrots a few nights ago. It would work as a sauce for other vegetables or protein like chicken and fish as well. It is quick and easy to make. Omit the smoked garlic if you are not a fan of smoked food but my wife and I both thought it made the sauce.
