A roux sauce can be flavored with various ingredients to enhance its taste. Common additions include onions, garlic, herbs like thyme or bay leaves, and spices such as paprika or cayenne pepper. Additionally, you can incorporate liquids like broth, wine, or cream to further deepen the flavor profile. Ultimately, the choice of flavorings depends on the intended dish and personal preference.
Is called a bechamel sauce or a roux.
Actually, a roux is not a sauce, but is the base for several different sauces and is used as a thickener in many dishes. A roux is made by combining equal parts of fat and starch (usually butter or lard and flour) and cooking it in a pan until the flour taste has been cooked out. The color of a roux depends upon the amount of time you cook it - and the darker the roux, the more flavor it imparts to the dish you are using it in. By adding milk to a roux you are making a bechamel sauce which is used in many lasagna recipes and other dishes. Bechamel sauce is also the base sauce for several other culinary sauces: Mornay sauce (cheese sauce), Mustard sauce, and Sauce Soubise (contains finely chopped onions that are sweated in butter before adding to the sauce) are a few of these.
Roux is basically an emulsive agent -- butter adds the fat.
