Ingredients

    12 oz Barilla gluten free spaghetti (by GINAV2)
    2.6 serving Almond Milk Silk Pure Unsweetened all natural original 30 calories/1cup
    1 tbsp Butter, unsalted
    2 serving Garlic (1 clove) (by AIRAMEI)
    1.25 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
    2 tbsp Cream Cheese
    2 tbsp Parsley
    1 breast, bone and skin removed Chicken Breast (cooked), no skin, roasted

Directions

Cook pasta according to package directions.
Meanwhile, melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently. Stir in flour with a whisk until smooth. Gradually add in milk, stirring with a whisk. Cook 6 minutes or til thickened, stirring constantly. Add the parmesan, cream cheese and a pinch of salt. Add in cooked chicken (I use rotisserie chicken/breast/skin removed) Stir with whisk while cheeses melt. Toss with hot pasta (I pull the pasta straight out of the water with tongs and place in the sauce - the wetter pasta helps keep the sauce creamy, sprinkle with chopped parsley and pepper, if desired.
*I also like to add in a TEENY bit of lemon zest to brighten the whole dish up.
