Cream Cheese Spaghetti Recipe

Cream cheese spaghetti is a delicious and creamy pasta dish that’s simple to make. Here’s a basic recipe for you:

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces (225g) spaghetti
• 4 ounces (115g) cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh parsley or basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
2. In a separate skillet or pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Reduce the heat to low and add the softened cream cheese to the skillet along with the milk. Stir continuously until the cream cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit of the reserved pasta water to thin it out.
4. Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet with the cream cheese sauce. Toss well until the spaghetti is evenly coated with the sauce.
5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook for another 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through.
6. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley or basil if desired.
7. Serve hot and enjoy your creamy and delicious cream cheese spaghetti!
