Mock Carbonara Pasta Sauce

Have you ever noticed anytime you use "cream cheese" in a recipe in lieu of something else it's called, mock. Well I made a quick and overwhelmingly yummy pasta sauce the other night...but let me warn you, the recipe I made is not for bathing suit season. You could easily modify it however. It's the perfect comfort food, especially after a too busy weekend. Serves four.

Cook up 6 pieces of yummy bacon, blot with a paper towel and cut up into little pieces, 1 cup of half and half cream, plus 1/2 cup of 1 milk, 1/2 cup of Philly Cream Cheese, 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, and 1 tsp. or more of garlic powder. Now whisk over a medium heat to assure it stays smooth. Feel free to add more garlic, Parmesan, or cream cheese. Toss into cooked noodles and devour. The bacon really makes this a nice dense smokey flavour.

To make it lower calorie, simply use low fat milk, low fat Parmesan, and low fat cream cheese.
