Instructions
Boil the Pasta: Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta according to the package instructions. Reserve a bit of that pasta water for later magic.
Make the Sauce: If your cream cheese isn't room temp, give it a couple of short bursts in the microwave and stir, this way it won't curdle. In a pan over medium heat, combine the pasta sauce and cream cheese. Stir until the cream cheese melts and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Add a splash of pasta water if needed to reach your desired consistency.
Toss It Together: Add your cooked pasta to the sauce and enjoy.
