Vegan Modification: Sub in olive oil for butter, unsweetened oat milk for milk, plant based cream cheese for cream cheese, and nutritional yeast for parmesan.
Boil the pasta 2 mins less than package directions (reserve 1/2 cup pasta water) and transfer it into the sauce pan with a mesh skimmer (or drain in a colander and transfer it into the sauce pan).
Add more pasta water if needed to loosen up the sauce.
