1/2 cup butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups whole milk
1 cup grated Pecorino Romano
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lb. pasta or mini penne
pre-cooked chicken from Costco (optional)
Heat butter on low, add minced garlic (if using fresh), pepper, cream cheese and whisk. Preheat milk in microwave. Then add milk and pecorino romano, whisking til smooth.
Add pre-cooked cut up chicken.
Serve over pasta. If adding the chicken, it works really well with the mini penne or regular penne pasta.
Note: I make this recipe in a batch of six at one time for Victory Group’s Christmas. It never fails. We serve 12 recipes over 10 lbs of penne pasta.
