Spaghetti Sauce With Cream Cheese

Nothing like a good old paper plate for dinner right? Truth be told we usually always eat on paper plates. I only eat on a nice plate when I want to take a picture for my blog. Well I forgot this time.

My sister in law knows I love cream cheese but that I don't love red sauce. I don't love spaghetti either. (except for my old neighbor Cathy made the best spaghetti sauce). She told me about her recipe for sauce that had cream cheese. I decided I'd try it and I really liked it so that will now be my standard when we have spaghetti. This was super fast and easy and the sauce was yummy. I'm not going to actually post exact directions, but since I refer to my blog for food ideas this will be a reminder to me. My sister in law doesn't use the spaghetti sauce in a jar but that's all I had and I thought it was fine. Also, my Magelby's rolls recipe went great with this.

1 Jar Spaghetti Sauce
1/2 of a full cube of Cream Cheese

Mix everything together and serve with rolls or scones.

Pasta With Alfredo Sauce

My friend Ann gave me this recipe and she said it was the best. She's right, it is the best. This is so easy and it really is one of my very favorite recipes.

1 8oz pkg cream cheese
6 tbsp butter or marg
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
pepper to taste

Cook cream cheese and butter on med-low heat and add milk slowly. Continue stirring until thoroughly blended. Add parmesan cheese, garlic and pepper.
I usually serve this over bow tie pasta with steamed broccoli and garlic bread.
