"okay, this is the deal. philadelphia (kraft) needs to stop making cream cheese! every time i turn around, it is in my view at the grocery store. oh, wait a second. it's MY fault for 'buying' the cream cheese? my bad. :) but in my defense, i decided to go the cream cheese route AGAIN due to the fact that i did not want to add condensed soup to my recipe. i am not a huge fan of condensed soups, so i try to find other alternatives. in this case, i am thankful. ever so thankful! this was some of the best pasta i have ever had. cream cheese will do that to ya! try this recipe. i'm sure you will love it, too. ..."
