Best Pampered Chef Pasta With Cream Cheese Recipes

PAMPERED CHEF PASTA WITH CREAM CHEESE

Steps:

• In a large dutch oven or other large vessel with sides put the olive oil and the garlic. Heat over medium heat until the garlic has started to brown on the edges.
• Add the broth, increase heat to high, and bring the liquid to a boil.
• Add the pasta. Cook, reduce heat to medium high, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is half cooked.
• Add the broccoli and carrots, reduce heat to medium. I usually cover the dutch oven with a plate at this time. Let everything cook for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the cream cheese and stir frequently until the cream cheese has melted. Generously sprinkle the pasta with salt and black pepper.
• Remove from heat and stir in the tomato and basil.
• Serve garnished with the parmesan cheese and the chicken breast pieces(optional).
