Pasta With Green Sauce image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons fresh basil, whole
4 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/4 cup olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2/3 cup water, boiling
cooked pasta, of your choice

Steps:

  • 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.
