Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    In a large saucepan, combine the cream cheese, Parmesan, butter, and milk. Place the pan over medium-low heat and stir constantly with a whisk or wooden spoon so the dairy melts evenly and doesn't scorch on the bottom. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps of cream cheese remain, about 5 to 8 minutes; do not let it come to a hard boil.

  2. Step 2.

    While the sauce finishes melting, have the cooked pasta drained and still hot. Add the pasta to the saucepan with the smooth sauce and toss lightly with tongs or a spoon until every piece is evenly coated and glossy. Serve immediately, and note that any leftovers can be frozen for later use.
