How to Make Easy Parmesan And Cream Cheese Pasta Sauce

  1. In a 1-quart microwave-safe casserole dish, combine 4 ounces (113g) of Philadelphia cream cheese, 1/2 cup (120ml) of milk, and 1/2 cup (40g) of grated Parmesan cheese.
  2. Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the sauce is smooth and creamy (about 3-5 minutes total).
  3. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon of onion powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Toss the sauce with 1 pound (454g) of your favorite hot, cooked pasta. Serve immediately and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
