I saw this on Stephanie's blog a long time ago and finally decided to make it tonight. This was really good, although very very rich and filling. We were going to have a side salad or crescents with it and forgot, and now I'm glad that we did! (Serves 2-3).
Ingredients
* 8 ounces rigatoni pasta (I used whole wheat linguine)
* 3-4 cooked chicken cutlets - cubed (I omitted and used crumbled bacon instead)
* Fresh cracked pepper - to taste
* Garlic salt - to taste
For Cream Sauce:
* 2 ounces veggie cream cheese
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 1/4-1/2 cup milk
* Fresh cracked pepper - to taste
* Parmesan cheese - to taste (I didn't have parmesan so I used shredded mozzarella instead.. it was still tasty!)
Directions
1. Cook pasta; set aside.
2. In a sauce pan, melt the cream cheese and butter over medium-low heat. Add milk once melted. Add parmesan cheese, pepper, garlic salt. Stir constantly for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens.
3. Toss in pasta and chicken (or bacon crumbles), coat well.
4. Serve with parmesan cheese and fresh cracked pepper.

Looks so creamy and I like the use of vegetable cream cheese for additional flavor!
