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?

@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
