Servings: 8
Calories: 62kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups unsweetened, plain almond milk
- 2 tbsp cornstarch
- 4 tbsp 1/3 less fat (light) cream cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese use the kind in the refrigerated section rather than the green-bottle stuff.
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium sauce pan, whisk together almond milk , cornstarch, garlic powder, and kosher salt. Turn heat to high and bring to a slow boil, whisking frequently so cornstarch doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Turn heat to low and continue to cook until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Whisk in cream cheese, one tablespoon at a time, until melted.
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese in slowly, whisking as you go. If you try to add all the cheese in at one time, it might clump together. Once all cheese is added, finish with cracked pepper.
- If serving with pasta, add sauce to pasta and cook together for about a minute, to thicken the sauce. Otherwise, take sauce off heat and let cool for about 5-10 minutes to thicken up.
