 **Editor's Note: I poured the Cream Cheese Alfredo Sauce over Elbow Pasta and my husband absolutely LOVED the way the sauce brought out the pasta. I have also tried preparing this over bowtie pasta and they both lock in the sauce for exquisite flavor! The most recent time I diced up some (precooked) chicken and simmered it on low for the remaining 5 minutes (I left the garlic in the sauce) and then poured it over the bowtie pasta, served with a side of garlic bread and it served as the perfect easy to prepare meal! It was an excellent hit with myself and my husband (who at times can be a very picky eater)!
