I promise, this will be the easiest side dish you ever love.

Creamy, cheesy, tiny little bites of pasta with just the right texture and deliciousness — made with two little ingredients.  We eat this alongside fish, or chicken, or anytime I just need a quick side dish that everyone will gobble up.

I first heard this idea on a cooking show with the guy from Cake Boss.  Yup, Buddy told me he makes this all the time and at first I thought it was way too easy to be true.  And then I tried it.  Guys, this is a legit recipe from an Italian chef, so you don’t have to feel like you’re cheating!  Just try it!

Are you ready for these instructions? It’s pretty tricky!  NOT! :o)

Prepare Acini de Pepe pasta according to package directions. Drain.

Add 8 oz. cream cheese and salt and pepper to taste to hot pasta. Stir to combine.

That’s it.  Yes, your life is now changed.  You’re so welcome.  :o)
