Laughing Cow Recipes

I have an unnatural obsession with my laughing cow cheese...
I mean, who wouldn't love a cheese that is cute, low in fat/calories, has an adorable little red cow mascot, and is delish? What's not to love?


Laughing Cow Alfredo (with Broccoli)

• 3 wedges of your favorite Laughing Cow (garlic and herb would be perfect)
  
• 1/2 cup 2% milk
  
• 1 Tbsp Parmesan cheese
  
• 1/2 Tbsp Butter
  
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Put all ingredients in a small sauce pan and set on low. Cook for 20 minutes or until creamy and smooth. Stir often!

Boil some water for your favorite pasta and cook pasta as directed on the package.

Once the sauce and pasta are done add some broccoli florets (or any other veggie you want to add) to the sauce and than top with the hot pasta. Stir and serve.

Makes 2 servings of sauce
