Comment préparer 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.
