We have made this often and find it to be both tasty and convenient. We have used Neufchatel (1/3 less fat) cheese and 2% milk with good results. Also, we like to replace 1/2 cup of the milk with 1/2 cup white wine for additional flavor. It is good over pasta, chicken, broccoli, or aspargus. Thanks for sharing this one!
