I used goat cheese instead of cream cheese and sour cream instead of milk. Fabulous!<br/>chiffinade some basel to sprinkle on top and some nice Regianno grated.<br/>Serve with Garlic bread. If you use low fat sour cream you will cut calories down and olive oil for the saute instead of butter.

So yummy! I just made it a bit healthier by using 1 T olive oil instead of butter and milk instead of cream and also added some spinach. It was great- thanks!

Thick and Creamy! I used a pound of pasta added thyme. Mushrooms and thyme go so well together. I also used light cream. When I added the pasta to the sauce I also added some pasta water. Thanks for a yummy dish!

I was looking for a recipe similar to this that an old friend used to make. I found this one and tried it because the ingredients were some what similar. The only thing I left out where the onions because I'm not fond of them but other then that I follow it. It just wasn't the same. The cream cheese was very strong and if I do make this again I'll use less. This was just OK for me not great so I think I'll keep looking for something better. Thanks for posting it anyway it's always nice to try new things.
