I have a ‘lazy’ recipe to recreate the Trader Joe’s pasta – it’s just three ingredients, so easy and tastes so good
A CANNY cook has revealed how she gets her Trader Joe’s pasta fix using only three ingredients.
On the nights she doesn’t feel like cooking, she’ll whip this dish up in minutes.
As a mother-of-two, Lindsey (@lindsey____xo) doesn’t always have enough energy to make a gourmet meal.
She loves to chef delicious dishes with minimal effort required.
And in her recent video, Lindsey showed her followers how she makes one pasta in particular.
The dinner recipe was inspired by a well-known Trader Joe’s lazy meal.
Instead of grabbing the ingredients from that grocery store, she went to Alpine Marketplace.
All that was needed: one bag of pasta, a carton of whipped cream cheese, and tomato sauce.
Lindsey bought Rao’s brand farfalle and sauce.
She started by boiling water for the pasta while heating the tomato sauce in a pan.
Once the pasta was cooking, Lindsey added the entire can of Philadelphia’s whipped cream cheese into the sauce.
The savvy mom mixed in the cream cheese until the sauce turned orange.
Finally, she added the pasta to the pan, mixing all three ingredients on low heat.
Lindsey snuck a bite, and her face lit up.
Viewers ate up her quick and easy recipe idea, commenting they were excited to try it.
“I will have to try this! I never thought about adding cream cheese,” an excited follower admitted.
“This looks like perfection,” another woman wrote.
A creative cook added: “I feel like mascarpone to replace the cream cheese would hit.” And by “hit,” she meant to taste good.
