    A few weeks ago I ate this Creamy Lemon One Pot Pasta for lunch… like, I ate almost allll of it … and I LURRRVED it! Enjoyed every darn bite of it!

    But then, it got me thinkin’… my husband, the pastaholic, is obsessed with tomato sauce. Obsessed may be an understatement. The dude would bathe in tomato sauce, without a doubt. Thus, I started playing around; throwing tomatoes in the boiling water was NOT my smartest idea. Stirring in cream cheese and tomato sauce?!? BRILLIANT!

    This is pretty much the only thing I want to eat everyFriday. Total Friday food! If you atea Yogurt Breakfast Bowl this morning, you can most definitely have alllll of THIS!

    Okay, maybe not ALLof it, but most of it. With a side of Chardonnay. mmmmmmm!

    If this pasta can’t be a part of your today, you should really consider itto be a part of your weekend. It’s just so goooood.

    Let’s get all up in this! We’re throwing almost everything into the pot and stirring in your favorite pasta/tomato sauce. If you prefer less cream cheese and more tomato sauce, go ahead and add as much or as little as you want. I’d start with 3 ounces of cream cheese and 1-1/2 cups tomato sauce, then adjust as needed.

    ENJOY!
