Refreshing, Cheesy & Herby Pasta Sauce

by Micaela Harrasser

This super easy and quick to prep cheesy pasta sauce is light, refreshing and super tasty thanks to the herb mix!

The freshness and creamy lightness comes from cream cheese, diluted in milk. The extra cheese, parmigiano, gives it extra flavor. The blend of herbs is up to your taste – here I used rosemary, sage, thyme and chives in the amounts showed in the instructions section.

This pasta is good warm and cold, perfect for a picnic and can be prepped in advance. Perfect quick meal for a busy week or a nice lunch outside! Enjoy 😊
