The Creamy White Sauce

This is my multi-purpose whole wheat white sauce for everything. From white sauce pasta, creamy mushrooms, sandwich fillings to vegetable bake, I use it for all. The USP of this white sauce is it does not have any cream, mayonnaise, eggs, or all-purpose flour. The base of this creamy white sauce is 4 ingredients – wheat flour, milk, garlic, and olive oil. BONUS: You can make this sauce while meal-prepping for the week and store it in the refrigerator. It remains good to use for 3 – 4 days.
