I just gotta say, learning how to make Bechamel Sauce just changed my life. I was looking for a quick recipe to make for dinner but i only had some chicken and pasta, and i wanted something different. Something tasty.

So I came out with something pretty simple: think of pasta covered in a white, creamy sauce ... it can't go wrong

If you want a cheap, quick and easy recipe, keep reading this! I have no measurements of everything but you can eyeball it and it'll work out, its that easy

Also it's my first time writing a recipe in english, i'm sorry if it's weird xD

Ingredients:

• Chicken breast
• Garlic
• Onion
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Milk
• Butter
• Olive oil
• Flour
• Pasta
• Parmesan cheese
• Scallions

1st step: The Chicken™

• Grab some chicken breast and dice it
• Season it to taste
• I like seasoning mine with salt, lemon pepper, smoked paprika, turmeric and a splash of vinegar
• Stir fry some diced onion and minced garlic with olive oil (i like adding a bit of butter to it as well)
• Add your chicken and stir fry until it's golden
• when it's done, take the chicken out and leave it aside for now.

2nd step: The Sauce™

• On the same pan, add 2 spoonfuls of butter
• Melt it and add some minced garlic, stir fry it for a bit until it's aromatic
• Add 2 spoons of flour (the same spoon you used for the butter) and mix it well. It's going to look like a batter. Cook it for 1:30 to 2 minutes and dont forget to keep mixing it. It should get to a nice golden color. They say you should cook it until it smells like cookies but i have no idea what that means, i never baked cookies LOL
• Now you're going to need a lot of milk. Add it slowly at first, you'll notice it'll quickly look like a cream. Keep adding and mixing non stop. If you have a fouet it's even better to help dissolve the flour lumps. Keep adding milk until it gets to a nice consistency. Don't let it thicken too much, you want a creamy consistency but not too milky, it should cover the pasta well and not look like a soup xD.
• Add salt and black pepper to taste
• If you have parmesan cheese, you can grate some on the sauce too
• Add the chicken back to the sauce and turn off the heat

3rd step: The Pasta™

• Bring water to a boil and add your pasta, follow the package instructions for how long you should boil it so it's al dente. Don't forget to salt your pasta water!!!
• Drain the water
• If the sauce ended up getting too thick while it cooled, you can add more milk and heat it up a bit more until it goes back to the desired consistency
• Add the pasta to the sauce and mix it well

And it's ready to serve! I also like grating more parmesan cheese on top and adding some scallions too. So good, so simple and easy. I'd eat this everyday fr. You can even get more creative with it, adding some steamed broccoli to the sauce, swapping the chicken for beef, adding mushrooms, bacon..... the world is your oyster

I have no pictures of it unfortunately, we inhaled that thing too fast for any pictures to be taken :B
