So for a while I have heard it is a great idea to put a dollop of cream cheese into your spaghetti sauces and I always thought "sure mmm hmm I bet it would be alright" and tonight I was looking for a last minute dinner, I had pasta, tomato sauce and cream cheese so it was a no brainer. I wasn't expecting much but then I bit in and well I think I found my new favorite pasta sauce...at least until the next one. Either way this is a great pasta that you can serve your family and they will think you really went to a lot of effort to make something special and only you and I will know you spent a full 20 seconds on this sauce! I'm looking forward to trying this on some ravioli, adding some veggies, and maybe even some garlic chicken and spinach for a more filling and nutritious meal as well.
Creamy No Guilt Spaghetti Sauce: Serves 2
2/3-1C Tomato Sauce
2TB Cream Cheese (I use 1/3 less fat and cannot taste a difference)
1/4tsp Dried Basil
1/4tsp Dried Oregano
Dash Salt & Pepper
Cook your pasta in salted water, drain and set to the side. In the pasta pot add all of the ingredients and mix over low heat until the cream cheese melts, turn the burner off, return the pasta to the pot and stir. Cover with a lid and let it sit for 5 minutes to absorb a lot of the sauce. Remove the lid, stir and serve.
