Pasta With Green Sauce

"This is a wonderful pasta dish with a creamy rich sauce. You can add additional veggies (broccoli, mushrooms, snow peas) if you wish , but it's great on it's own. It can be a side dish, or a vegetarian meal, with a salad and good crusty bread."

directions

  • In a heavy saucepan, melt butter. Add garlic, basil and parsley and cook one minute.
  • Blend in cream cheese, parmesan cheese, olive oil and pepper.
  • Stir in boiling water.
  • Blend well and simmer carefully for approximately 5 minutes. The sauce tends to separate, so keep stirring.
  • Serve over your favorite pasta, I prefer vermecelli or fettucini.
