This is fantastic! I first sauteed some mushrooms and spinach in the butter for just a bit, then added the garlic and the cream cheese. Since I found I didn't have any evaporated milk, I thinned the sauce with chicken broth instead. I served it over tortelllini and my family loved it! Thanks for the recipe!

This sauce is incredible! Handy tip, though: If you find it's too sticky, cut back on the cream cheese. Cream cheese is a binder, so the more you use, the stickier it gets. I love it though!
