Someone's baby has been sleeping for 2 hours now so you get a lovely picture thanks to having some more time on my hands! I don't know if Anderson is experiencing a growth spurt or deciding to be a dream baby who takes long naps, but either way I'm taking it. While he slumbers I get to share with you another simple supper that comes together quickly, is veg-friendly, and oh-so-satisfying. I'm sure the heavy whipping cream has nothing to do with that.
This is another recipe from Sunset and one that I threw together for Benjamin the other night when I was going out to dinner! I had some myself as an appetizer and it's a good thing seeing as we didn't eat til close to 8:30. If you're a vegetarian you can of course omit the proscuiutto. You can also add other vegetables to this like peas. I shared the recipe with a friend who did just that. She served hers over whole wheat pasta with some herbs of provence and claims she barely got any! Her combination sounds dreamy and I bet would be really tasty using creme fraiche in there instead of the whipping cream for the sauce! Aren't you inspired to make it now too?
