Macaroni and Béchamel Sauce- معكرونه بالبشاميل

[vvrayavv]

Hello Summer,

I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for all of the great recipes. I do have a question. Everytime I make the bechamel sauce, I have a problem making the right quantity with the right consistency. The taste is fine, but the problem I usually have is when I am done baking, the macaroni is not held together. I find the consistency to be too liquidy. How can I correct this?

[cookingtheeasyway]

@vvrayavv , Thanks for your comment and liking my cooking videos. the only thing i can think of is that you are using too much milk in your béchamel sauce or maybe the other ingredients have too much liquid in them? maybe the tomato sauce is too runny? i suggest that you use this recipe, and i hope it works out for you to make one cup of white sauce:

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons flour

1 1/4 cups milk, heated

Salt

Freshly ground pepper

[ChaChaDave]

Hi. Very nice. Looks delicious.

[cookingtheeasyway]

@ChaChaDave , Thanks! glad you liked it.

[SEESAMEER1]

what kind flour you add?/

[cookingtheeasyway]

@SEESAMEER1 , i use regular white flour...bleached or unbleached, white or wheat, anything will do.

@wamanish

نيالك! بس فين الوصفه؟

[Moonzlight]

Salaam Dear..was wondering, wouldn't it be easier to melt the butter first then add the flour??? That's what I do and it comes out great! Thanks for sharing your recipes! Keep up the yummy dishes coming! Thanks again..WS

[cookingtheeasyway]

@Moonzlight , thanks for your cooking tip...i appreciate it.

I usually "toast" or brown the flour a little before adding the butter to it, this will give the flour a nutty flavor and not a row flour flavor. :) thanks for coming by, watching and leaving a comment.

[abrn5]

[cookingtheeasyway]

@abrn5 , thanks for coming by, watching and leaving a comment, i appreciate it and glad you liked the recipe.

[FatimaV88]

THank you for sharing this recepie with us ... i tried cooking it today but it was a total mess lol... it didn't come out as nice as yours... I think i made a mistake with the flour bc it got to a point where i started getting all this bunch of flour together i kept adding milk but it didn't work... :(

[cookingtheeasyway]

@FatimaV88 , Thanks for your comment. I hope next time the sauce will work for you. a tip: if the sauce does not work out for you well, blend it in the hand held blender or a regular blender. make sure you use equal amounts of butter and flour, of course you need to keep on stirring the mix until it is smooth and nice. good luck next time.

[bouchra789]

wonder why you didn't add the tomato paste while you were cooking the ground beef

[zooooooob]

it tastes so yummy, i liked the way the Béchamel was made.

[cookingtheeasyway]

Thanks for your comment and watching.

[tinything100]

its fattening u added a lot of oil and butter. there is flour and macaroni which means lots of carbohydrate. i don't know

[cookingtheeasyway]

Tiny, you can always modify it and add or omit stuff , depending on how you like it. i suggest that you do not watch fatty food videos, they do make you think so much about the ingredients :) thanks for coming by.

[heyawhaw]

haha you got a point there. whassup with people watching the wrong kinds of videos all the time! :)

[DODOLOVE1]

تسلم ايدك ويعطيك العافيه ..... انا اعمل الطريقة بالعكس اقلي زبدة ثم اضيف الطحين , سؤالي حين شرب الطحين كل الحليب نشف كيف اصبح سائل وششششششششششكرا , لو تكتبى الطريقة والمقادير بالعربى ,

[cookingtheeasyway]

you forgot that i added milk to it??? check out the video again. thanks for coming by.

[almantaite]

I cant watch your videos while Im on diet, Is makes me feel hungry :) anyway, Im gonna try it but I will use turkey instead of beef. thanks for the recipe!

[leyonce86]

thanks i didnt try it yet but i guess it looks soooooooooo yummy

[simsima0680]

thank you so much very nice recipe...I well tray it today cause my son likes pasta...

have a nice day..

[cookingtheeasyway]

simsima, thanks for coming by, watching and leaving a comment. i hope the recipe works out for you.

[columbalivia]

That is so complex. My mother makes a tomatoy meat sauce (sautee onions, meat, add tomato paste, spices, some water to create sauce and simmers away for flavour) then she layers the plain boiled pasta in the pan, adds the meat sauce, another layer of pasta and then the white sauce only on top in a thick layer,( she also adds 1 egg to the white sauce after taking it off the stove and quickly whisks it in) after it's finished baking she broils it so it looks pretty for just a few seconds.

[cookingtheeasyway]

Thanks columbalivia for coming by, watching and leaving a comment and your mom's recipe!! i appreciate the recipe...i do not blame you if you did not like my recipe, all i know is that no one can competes with any mom's recipe!!! so, you have every right to say that my recipe is so complicated and your mom's is much easier and i am sure much better :)

[MaryafromLalaLand]

Thank you for sharing your recipe, it looks yummy and I might try it one of these days. Almost like lasagna. I like your choice of music, Richard Marxs Right Here Waiting almost made me cry lol.

[cookingtheeasyway]

[royalxsweetie]

mashallah, looks delectable!

are you using whole milk? it looks really creamy and heavy!

[cookingtheeasyway]

royalxsweetie, thanks for coming by.

i actually used whole milk but you can always modify any recipe and make it less fatty by using low fat ingredients.

[Sengleaboy]

Is Richard Marx the chef?? :)

[cookingtheeasyway]

sengleaboy, what do you think? all i know is that richard marx knows how to sing but now sure about his cooking!!

[oXDarkBoyXo]

are you out of your mind.... for cooking you need to have slow music tracks ... not richard max or BSB.... what style of cooking is this... you people are unbelievable.

[sabysousou]

وفين فيديوهاتك عن مصر بقالنا شهور ماشفناش فيديوهات جديدة

[cookingtheeasyway]

شكرا للمتابعه و انشاء الله العربي جاي قريبا

[snowmountain2007]

This looks like a great lunch for me!! Add a salad and I'm good to go!! I know you are suppose to serve this hot, but will it keep in my little lunch tote if I cannot find a refridgerator?? It woud be like for 3 to 4 hours.

[cookingtheeasyway]

snow, i think three or four hours out of the fridge should be OK but not in a very warm place to allow for bacteria to grow, the milk and the cheese get spoiled with warm temperature. i suggest that you keep it in container that has thermal to keep food temperature hot or cold, you know what i am talking about?

[bawain]

yummmyyyyyy

everything arabic rox :D

[maa105]

Dude did u mean 3 cups of flour cause it looked like u added more than 1/3 cups of flour

please reply my future as a cook hangs in the balance :D

[cookingtheeasyway]

No, i did not add 3 cups of flour...otherwise the sauce will be just too thick. i added about ONE THIRD of a cup...In Arabic:

ثلث فنجان

[maa105]

I got this much I put 3 cups and well it was desaterous, ill try it later.

thanks anyways

[maa105]

[cookingtheeasyway]

طبعا بأمكانك ان تستعيضي عن أستعمال أللحم بآخر من أختيارك لكن لا أضمن أن ألنتيجه ستكون بجودة ألوصفه ألأصليه.

[calpolyis]

It looks awsome, but I have a feeling there is 10,000 calories in that dish.lol

[cookingtheeasyway]

Calpolyis, you are absolutely right on the calorie count!!

:)

Thanks for coming by, watching and leaving a comment.

[lizajane54]

This is alot like Pastitsio, a Greek dish.

I will try toasting the flour.

[cookingtheeasyway]

lizajane54, thanks for your comment and coming by. i appreciate your input...i think all Mediterranean countries share a lot of recipes made with slight differences.

[glufforama]

now thats probably something evryone can eat

exept for kosher, well food is food and this is good food

[cookingtheeasyway]

Thanks for your comment glufforama. i believe that this recipe falls under kosher food for sure. :)

[glufforama]

but kosher says thgou shalt not mix thee diaries and thee meat for nurishing thee self or other humans, unless it is dependant of thee life or others life to do so

[cookingtheeasyway]

Thanks for clarifying this for me. :) i do not have many information about kosher food.

[redlittleteapot]

I like the video presentation, looks easy and yummy.... I will try this recipe. Nice choice of song, by the way :)

[cookingtheeasyway]

Thanks Red, glad you enjoyed it. i hope the recipe works out for you. thank you again.
