Creamy Double Cheese Sauce With Pasta Recipes

CREAMY DOUBLE-CHEESE SAUCE WITH PASTA

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to package directions. Reserve ¼ cup of the cooking liquid, drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and 1/4 tsp each salt and pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until very tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
• Whisk in the milk and bring to a simmer. Whisk in the cream cheese, Parmesan and nutmeg and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Toss with the pasta, adding some of the reserved cooking liquid if the pasta seems dry.

CREAMY MUSHROOM PASTA

Steps:
