4oz cream cheese
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
1/4 tsp pepper to taste - optional
(optional - one chopped onion - I use sometimes - but not for kraft version :-)
Melt butter, saute onion in it, if using. Add milk. Then add cream cheese and wait until mostly melted, stirring frequently. Add shredded cheese and pasta. Finally stir in Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Serve, Eat and enjoy!
(I double this for my family of 9 and we have some left over.)
