From the kitchen of Kate Bencker

In a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat, melt:

1/2 c butter

Add:

1 (8oz) reduced fat cream cheese

2 tsp garlic powder

Stir with wire whisk until smooth.

Add, a little at a time:

2 c skim milk

Whisk as you add milk, to smooth out lumps.

Stir in:

6 oz grated parmesan cheese

1/8 tsp black pepper

Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency.

Sauce will thicken rapidly.

Thin with milk if cooked too long.

Toss with hot pasta.

Season with salt & pepper.

NOTES

  • I like adding extras to pasta, like charred tomatoes & fresh basil. Remember to season with salt & pepper. -Stephanie
