Spaghetti a la Garlic

1/2 lb spaghetti, uncooked
1 tbs olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 oz cream cheese, cubed
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese, divided

Cook spaghetti in large saucepan as directed on package, omitting salt. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Set spaghetti aside.

Heat oil in same saucepan on medium-low heat. Add garlic.  Cook 1 to 2 min or until lightly browned, stirring frequently. Add cream cheese, 3/4 cup Parmesan and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta cooking water.  Cook 1 to 2 min or until cream cheese is completely melted and sauce is well blended.

Return spaghetti to pan.  Toss until evenly coated. If thinner consistency is desired, add enough of the remaining reserved pasta cooking water until sauce is of desired consistency. Top with remaining Parmesan.  Serves 4
