Let’s face it, we’ve all had those evenings when the fridge looks like a barren wasteland and your motivation to cook has packed its bags. That’s where this easy creamy pasta recipe comes in. This pasta is lush, rich, and comforting in a way only cream cheese can manage. It clings to spaghetti like a warm hug and honestly? It might make you forget about takeout. Whether you’ve got chicken to toss in, a can of tomatoes begging for attention, or just want it plain, this base recipe is flexible enough to handle it. I made it last week after a long day, tossed in leftover grilled chicken, and my family devoured it like I was hiding a secret ingredient (spoiler: it was just garlic and a dash of sass). Trust me, once you taste how creamy and smooth this sauce is, you’ll add it to your weeknight rotation in no time.
