Recipe Tips
- If you find the sauce has thickened up too much, then you can simply mix in some more milk. However, you may find the mornay will become runny after baking in the oven.
- The topping is optional but does add an extra level to the dish, and I would recommend doing it. You can skip the baking if you don’t add the topping.
- You can use either fresh or dried Parmesan for the topping.
