Creamy Mushroom Pork

It's amazing the things you can do with cream/soft cheese. I recently bought The Ultimate Philadelphia Cookbook and although this recipe doesn't come from there, it does use soft cheese. The cookbook is packed full of all sorts of interesting things you can do with soft cheese, including Thai curries, pasta dishes, creamy sauces etc, one of the best things about the book is that mostly it uses light or extra light philly, which is great for a WeightWatchers diet. I'd never really thought that you could use soft cheese in such a variety of ways, it's more versatile than I thought!

Coming back to today's recipe, this uses extra light soft cheese to create a lovely creamy sauce without the need for cream or creme fraiche and the combination of pork and mushrooms is fantastic.

I should point out that I am not sponsored or by anyway affiliated with Philadelphia nor was the book a freebie!
