Ingredients
2tablespoonsbutter
4ouncescream cheesesoftened and cut into 6 pieces
1cupmilk
1cupgrated Parmesan cheese
1/2teaspoonground black pepper
1/4teaspoonsaltmore to taste, if needed
Instructions
In a medium pot, melt the butter over medium/low heat.
Add the cream cheese, one cube at a time, and stir with a whisk until melted. Continue to whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 2-3.
Gradually add the milk and whisk quickly to fully incorporate it into the sauce.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, pepper and salt until the cheese is melted and the sauce is the desired consistency. Serve immediately over hot pasta.
Notes
Like I said above I typically use 1% milk and 1/3 less fat cream cheese for this sauce and would not recommend using fat free options. Makes a little under 1 3/4 cups sauce.Inspired by this recipe.
