Farfalle w/ asparagus & prosciutto

So my boyfraaan Andres spent this past week with me and decided to cook a Sunday dinner for my mom and I (thanks babe). Shocked, but lovin' it, I proceeded to help him prepare the dish below. Lemme tell ya, for someone who doesn't like prosciutto and who was skeptical about this heavy cream of a sauce, I freakin' loved it. Delicious delicious. And the best part is that you can incorporate as many other vegetables and seasonings as you'd like. There are many variations of this dish out there, but this is by far the easiest and fastest. A must try!
