Easy Cream Sauce for Pasta or Vegetables

I just love a nice cream sauce and through a process of trial and error, I've created a sauce that is not only incredibly versatile, it can be used in a variety of different dishes like last night's fettuccini with grilled seafood.

This velvety combination of half and half cream, chicken stock, and Philadelphia Cream Cheese can be thrown together in about five minutes and will be a welcome addition to any cook's repertoire.

I hope you enjoy!
