This healthy Cauliflower Bechamel Sauce makes a big batch, which is good because it goes with so many great dishes and it freezes well.
I wanted to use it on this Vegetable Lasagna with Béchamel Sauce and it was delicious!
I have frozen the lasagna and it reheats beautifully. If you decide to make this big batch as per the recipe then you can freeze the extra sauce and reheat when you want to use it.

I have made the sauce a few times and frozen it so I have some on hand when I want to make a healthy Fettuccine Alfredo.
I divide the finished sauce between two large zip lock bags. I lay them flat and freeze them. A bag is good for one lasagne or pasta recipe.
