The ingredients for Cream Cheese Basil Sauce are:

3 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp dry basil
2 Tbsp dry parsley
8 oz light cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp salt
2/3 cup boiling water (use the water the pasta boils in)

* 1 lb pasta of choice (not calculated)

Here is how you make Cream Cheese Basil Sauce:

While the pasta is cooking prepare the sauce. In a big bowl use a fork or a whisk to mash everything except water together. Now add the boiling water. I dip it out of the boiling pasta with a measuring cup, but you could measure it, and boil it separately if you preferred. Pour the boiling water in slowly and mix it all up until the sauce is the consistency of thick cream. Pour the sauce over the cooked pasta and toss it all together until it is well mixed.
