Found this on cooks.com. I like the white sauce because I have family members that don't tolerate tomato sauce well. The vegetarian sausage really gives it a good flavor. I hope you enjoy it.

    NOTE: This recipe comes from COOKS.COM, they don't specify what to do with the onion for the Bechemel sauce so I chop it in the food processor before I use it in the sauce.
