• Turn the heat down to low. Cut the cream cheese into a few pieces and then add them to the skillet with the tomato sauce.
• Use a whisk to stir the sauce until the cream cheese has fully melted in and the sauce is creamy.
• Add half of the parmesan to the skillet and whisk until it is melted inches Add the remainder of the parmesan and whisk until melted in again.

• Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed. Serve warm.
