"This is a basic low-fat white sauce I use for quite a number of recipes. I use this as a base for a cheese sauce, continuing with low-fat cheese. I also add herbs to this base and use it as a sauce for pot pies. It is also a great base for creamed pasta sauces, just season it up as desired and toss it with cooked pasta."
