Creamy Parmesan Cheese Sauce

This is great served over almost any vegetable or cooked pasta. I have also made this on the stovetop. Just stir continuously for about the same amount of time.

1 1/2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Microwave cream cheese, milk and parmesan cheese in 1-quart microwave safe container.
  2. 2
    Microwave on MEDIUM (50%) 6-8 minutes or until sauce is smooth, stirring every 2 minutes.
  3. 3
    Stir in seasonings.
  4. 4
    Toss with hot cooked pasta or serve over cooked veggies.
  5. 5
    You may want to add some garlic, extra pepper, or other spices because this is a very mild cheese sauce. I have used a couple of cloves of garlic sauted in a little butter, when I cook it on the stove, and really like it that way also.

    This sauce is so easy to do. And it tastes great even though I added only pepper and no-salt seasoning. I used low-fat cream cheese and skim milk. But another time I may add more milk cause the sauce is very thick. Thanks Nimz. Made for Potluck tag

    Very yummy!!! I made this with the parmesan baked chicken # 40597 and served with noodles and broccoli. I added garlic, dried onion, paprika, ground pepper. I also used 1/4 half&half and the balance was the milk. SO GOOD!!!

    Really good sauce. After seeing the pasta photos, I had a real craving for pasta, lol. I used a Fiesta Fettuccine pasta mix (multi-colored fettuccine) and this sauce was really yummy. I added some minced garlic, a few red crushed peppers and some parsley. Thanks for another winner Nimz. And congrats on your football win.
