Cómo preparar Mom's Yummy Cream Cheese Pesto Pasta Sauce
- Mince 2 cloves of garlic. Finely chop 1 cup of fresh basil leaves.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chopped broccoli florets (about 1 cup) and sauté for 3-5 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the garlic-basil-broccoli mixture with 4 ounces of cream cheese and 1/4 cup of hot pasta water. Blend until smooth and creamy, adding more pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Cook your favorite pasta according to package directions.
- Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water. Add the pasta to the cream cheese pesto sauce and toss to coat. Add a little reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with extra basil leaves if desired.
