White Sauce Or Gravy
White Sauce Or Gravy is a creamy white sauce commonly used in European and Western cooking (think lasagne, gratins and pasta) and is known for its rich texture and ability to bind ingredients. It is relatively energy-dense at 144kcal per 100 g, largely from fats and starches, so a little goes a long way. Nutritionally it provides some protein and calcium but is low in fiber and contains a notable amount of saturated fat; it’s best used in moderation or lightened for frequent use. From a health standpoint this type of sauce is convenient and flavorful but is more of an occasional enrichening ingredient than a staple — swapping to lower-fat dairy or vegetable-based versions keeps the creaminess while cutting calories and saturated fat.
