Notes

  Add to any dish: veggies, pasta, chicken, etc.

I’ve added it to hamburger and macaroni for my own Hamburger Helper.

Makes great Alfredo with Italian Seasonings on Farfalle pasta yum!

I've also melted in a bag of shredded cheddar cheese and made my own  macaroni and cheese, it was terrific.

**  Also, if you are doing Weight Watchers, this entire pan of sauce comes out to 6 points :)
