Pink Spaghetti Sauce

A few months ago I was reading one of my favorite message boards when I saw someone talking about Gnocchi with Pink Sauce. Now I have heard and had Gnocchi...but pink sauce? Needless to say I was very intrigued! Luckily the original poster is a friend and she was quite willing to share her recipe which transforms regular old spaghetti sauce into a creamy decadent sauce. The secret? Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges.

If you haven't heard of Laughing Cow before, they make a cheese spread that is sold in a wheel of individual wedges and comes in multiple flavors, my favorite being the Garlic & Herb spread.

Pink Spaghetti Sauce: Serves 1-2

1C Spaghetti Sauce
2 Laughing Cow Cheese Wedges

In a small sauce pan heat the spaghetti sauce and work in the laughing cow spread by cutting into small pieces and using a spoon smashing it against the pan to mix it into the sauce. Bring the sauce up to a light simmer and continue to stir and work in the cheese, the sauce will thicken slightly and turn a pink in color. Serve over your favorite pasta.
