Lower Fat Cream Sauce for Pasta

I LOVE cream sauces, however, they don't love me. I came up with this sauce to help trim the fat from some of my favorite recipes. It's simple, quick to prepare and tastes great! Enjoy!

• Ready In: 6 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 4  ounces low-fat cream cheese
• 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄3 cup  fat-free half-and-half

Directions

1. Soften cream cheese in your microwave on 50% power for approximately 1 minute in a medium sized bowl.
2. Stir cream cheese until smooth.
3. Add garlic powder and parmesan cheese.
4. Add FF half and half until thinned to a good consistency for pouring over pasta. I guessed at the amount I used since I do not measure things when I am cooking.
5. Pour over your favorite pasta and enjoy!
