Lazy Girl Pasta
Prep Time:5 minutes
Cook Time:10 minutes

Ingredients

  • Jar Pasta Sauce
  • 1 8 oz container of whipped cream cheese room temp
  • Pasta of choice I used one 8 oz bag of Trecce Dell'Orto
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon sugar optional
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional

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.
