Notes
- If you have leftover chicken, fish, or steak, you can add it to the sauce. I would add it before adding in spaghetti.
- If you want to cook raw meat and add it to the sauce, you can do this by pan frying the chicken, fish, or beef in the pan and then using the same pan to cook the cream cheese sauce.
- Instead of Italian seasoning, you can substitute it with cajun seasoning, or all-purpose seasoning. You can also add herbs of your choice. I like to add a little extra parsley.
- Cream cheese pasta sauce is best served as soon as it's cooked.
