Wow, this is a treat. I made a single serving and got enough for 2 dinners so it's very low in calories to boot. I used lemon pepper fettuccine which added a very nice touch. I added the broth and cooked that down some before adding softened cream cheese. It's really simple and tastes much richer than it actually is. I'll be making this again for sure. Made for PAC, Spring 09.

My family enjoyed this lite, tasty pasta dish. I 1-1/2x's the recipe to make 6 servings, but it was not necessary because this makes a lot. I did add a couple of cloves minced garlic for a little extra flavor. The sauce was a little thin, so next time I might add a little flour to thicken it some. Also, I added some salt and Mrs. Dash seasoning. I loved the fact that this was lower in fat yet very tasty. Thank you for sharing. *Made for Fall PAC 2008*
