Ingredients

  • 1 package bow tie pasta
  • 1/2 Cup butter
  • 3/4 Cups cream cheese, softened
  • 3/4 Cups milk
  • Garlic clove, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste

Directions

Place pasta in salted boiling water and cook as directed on the package.

Combine the butter, cream cheese, milk, and garlic in a medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil over medium low heat. Season with salt and pepper.

Continue to cook stirring occasionally until everything is incorporated and the sauce has thickened.

Serve sauce over pasta. 

Cream Cheese Shopping Tip

What’s the difference between brown and white eggs? Besides color, nothing – different breeds of chicken account for the differences in color – quality and freshness are what really count.

Cream Cheese Cooking Tip

In addition to keeping foods like granola, yogurt, and fruit on hand, plan ahead for hectic weekdays by whipping up extra batches of waffles or pancakes and individually freezing them for easy morning meals.
