Creamy Prosciutto Sauce

Ingredients

Prosciutto

4 ounces, chopped

Butter

2 tablespoons

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Heavy cream

1 cup

Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup, grated

Fresh parsley

1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Instructions

1. In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook the chopped prosciutto until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the prosciutto from the skillet and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
2. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow the cream to cook down for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly.
4. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors to your liking.
5. Return the crispy prosciutto to the sauce and stir to combine, allowing the flavors to meld together for another minute.
6. Serve the creamy prosciutto sauce over your favorite pasta, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
