This recipe saved the day for me because my 19 year old daughter and her boyfriend needed something to eat for lunch! I was all out of leftovers and all the cold cuts were gone! Food shopping is on Friday, so the cupboards were getting bare!I whipped this up in about 15 minutes! Thankfully I had a little help from a can of Progresso Recipe Starters! It was leftover from a brand ambassador assignment I had a while back!
All I did was make a pot of linguine and while that was cooking I browned 2 large cloves of crushed garlic in a skillet with some butter, salt & pepper. Then I added in the can of Progresso Creamy Parmesan Basil Recipe Starter with some fat free half n' half and some grated parmesan cheese! Let it simmer for a few minutes and then poured it over the cooked linguine! Yum and Done!
I found the recipe on the label of the can, but their recipe included chicken! I didn't have any chicken, but it was still delicious even without it!
