| How To Use Philadelphia Cooking Cream |
Step 1: The Great Tub Reveal (Don't Be Afraid)
Is it cheese? Is it yogurt? No, my friend, it's Philadelphia Cooking Cream! This fridge dweller comes in a variety of flavors, from the classic Italian Herb to the intriguingly named "Garden Vegetable." Pick your flavor adventure! Just remember, it's not meant for spreading on toast like its cream cheese cousin (although, we won't judge if you try it...).
Step 2: Unleash the Creamy Kraken (But Seriously, Don't)
Here's the beauty: This stuff is already seasoned and ready to rock. No need for a spice cabinet raid. Just grab a tub, pop the top (carefully, please, we don't want a creamy explosion), and get ready to transform your dish.
Step 3: The Simplest Sauce Ever (We're Not Kidding)
Okay, so you've got your protein (chicken, fish, tofu, whatever your heart desires) sizzling in a pan. Add some veggies for color (because beige is sooo last week). Now, here comes the magic. Dollop in some Philadelphia Cooking Cream. Stir it around that pan, letting it coat everything in its creamy goodness. Season with a little salt and pepper if needed (but probably not, it's already pretty flavorful). Bam! You've got yourself a restaurant-worthy sauce in about 2 minutes.
Pro Tip: Feeling fancy? Add a splash of broth or white wine for an extra layer of complexity.
QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
Step 4: The Pasta Possibilities are Endless (Just Don't Eat the Whole Tub)
Pasta night just got an upgrade. Toss cooked pasta with Philadelphia Cooking Cream, some shredded chicken, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Instant creamy delight! This same basic formula can be used for endless variations: add shrimp and sun-dried tomatoes for a Mediterranean twist, or go full-on veggie with broccoli and roasted red peppers.
Step 5: The Soup-erb Finale (Because Puns are Fun)
Philadelphia Cooking Cream isn't just for pasta and savory dishes. Stir some into your favorite soup for an extra dose of creamy comfort. It works wonders in tomato soup, potato soup, or even a creamy mushroom soup.
And there you have it! With these simple steps, you've gone from beige to BAM! in the dinnertime department. Philadelphia Cooking Cream: your secret weapon against culinary boredom.
Remember, the only limit is your imagination (and maybe your lactose tolerance).
