Ingredients
- 1 c. half and half
- 3/4 c. plain Greek yogurt
- 4 oz. cream cheese
- 2 cloves garlic peeled
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Dash black pepper
Instructions
-
Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth (my Blendtec has a "soup" setting and that's what I used). Pour into a saucepan and cook until hot, stirring frequently. Serve over your favorite whole grain pasta and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
I prefer a thicker sauce, so I added 1 tbsp. of cornstarch mixed with 1/4 c. cold water to the sauce as it was heating. Brought it to a boil and simmered it for a couple of minutes before serving. It thickened to the perfect consistency!
