Rich and creamy... It tastes just as good as the full fat version. I think you could even do half the cream cheese and
still get great flavor. I may try that next time.

This was pretty good - I over did it on the garlic, but that was my own fault, my friends demolished it with some veggies, great for watching a football game with!

Actually it is not necessary to add the cream cheese! I omitted that ingredient years ago. Add a few fresh basil leaves and a little garlic.....use fresh spinach - add artichokes.... and you are good to go.
