Pasta With Pink Sauce
Shake up your usual jarred-sauce-over-spaghetti with something a little more high-brow (but still low-brow enough that it won't raise any eyebrows).
- 1 (16-oz) box farfalle (bow tie) or rotini pasta
- 2 cups of your favorite prepared pasta sauce
- 1 (8-oz) container whipped cream cheese
In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and transfer to a serving dish.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the pasta sauce for 5 to 10 minutes, or until lightly bubbling, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low. Add the cream cheese to the pasta sauce and stir until melted and smooth.
Pour the hot sauce over the pasta; toss to coat.
- Adding a package of frozen chopped spinach to the pasta during the last few minutes of boiling adds a nice colorful (and nutritional) boost.
