In a food processor puree the cream cheese, the garlic, the basil, the oil, the parmesan, the milk, and salt and pepper until the pesto is smooth. In a kettle of salted boiling water, cook the linguine until it is al dente.
Ladle out and reserve 1 cup of the cooking water, drain the linguine, and transfer it to a heated serving bowl. Add enough of the reserved cooking water to the pesto to thin it to the desired consistency (if needed), and toss the linguine with the pesto.
