Low SODIUM Bechamel Sauce (homemade)

Homemade Bechamel ( low calorie/low sodium)
White Sauce
I kept all ingredients to generic brands since not everyone has the same G stores as I do:
1 tbsp unsalted butter ( you can sub for a healthier butter)
1 1/4 cups skim milk
3/4 cups low sodium parmesan cheese ( Kraft or Organic Valley makes this)
Dash of Nutmeg
Dash of Pepper
1/8 cups ( 2 tbsp) of All purpose flour ( you can sub for a glut free flour)
2 sauce pans
whisk
measuring tools

In one of your sauce pans add your milk and nutmeg and bring to a med heat
in your other sauce pan on low heat add your butter, as it starts to melt add your flour in and make a roux. DO NOT BURN IT. If it turns brown toss out and start again. It is very important to keep it white and get it all mixed together quickly.
Once your roux is made add in your milk whisking it all together and slowly add in your cheese & pepper. Keep whisking till your cheese is melted in and then serve.
** If you want a thinner sauce only add one tbsp of flour.
