  • Original
  • Herbs & Spices
  • Strawberry
  • Skyr
  • Mediterranean Garden (in select locations)

As you can see there are lots of choices. Grab your favorite and use it to whip up a batch of my Easy Weeknight Pasta Alfredo. Any of the flavors with the exception of Strawberry will be amazing in this recipe.

I used a tub of Arla Skyr to whip up my Alfredo sauce.

Arla Skyr Cream Cheese starts with the classic Arla cream cheese recipe and introduces skyr, an Icelandic-style yogurt, into the mix, resulting in a great-tasting Icelandic cream cheese spread that’s naturally higher in protein and lower in sugar and fat than their Original Cream Cheese. It adds a great flavor to my pasta dish and will be perfect in any of your favorite recipes.

Notice that my recipe only requires a few ingredients and is ready in about 15 minutes. This is one of my go-to meals on a busy week. I probably make it at least a couple of times per month. The recipe I am sharing today is the basic option but you can add protein or your favorite veggie if you want. Sometimes I add chicken, bacon or shrimp to change it up a bit. Other times I will add peas, broccoli or kale to add a bit of color and get a few veggies in my guys!
